Lesson 1-Greetings (Ni/Nin Hao)

你好/Hello,

Last week I learnt about greetings and what are the common reply to our greetings. 

And,here is some of the commonly use answers for greetings:

• 你好！Nǐhǎo ( how are you - commonly use)
• 您好nin hao ( how are you - formally use when greet someone older and meet new people)

Xiǎojie， Nin hǎo ！( how are you for female)

Nin hǎo，xiānsheng ( how are you for male)

What can we use to reply the greetings:

1. 我很好，谢谢，你呢 ? Wǒ hěn hǎo, Xièxie，nǐ ne?

         ( I'm fine, thank you, how about you? ) 

*when the people we greet ask us on how are we doing, we can reply this:

•         也很好。Yě hěn hǎo. ( I'm also fine)

     2. 马马虎虎。Mǎma hūhu. ( so-so)

    3.不是很好。Bú shì hěn hǎo ( not very good) 

*in this case, we can ask "why"/ 为什么？Wèi shénme?

# the usual answer is because of headache :

我头疼。Wǒ tou téng/tong

* and we can reply this:

好好照顾自己hao hao zhaogu ziji (Take good care of yourself)
