How to Say “Hello” in Mandarin Chinese
In this lesson you’ll learn how to say hello in Mandarin Chinese. It’s really easy to say hello in Mandarin Chinese. First say nǐ with the third dipping tone. Notice I’ve put a little accent over the “i”. That is to show that the word is pronounced with the third tone.
Then say hǎo also using the third tone. Now put them together and say nǐhǎo. The characters for nǐhǎo are 你好 and literally mean “you good”.
