Simple Chinese words can help you communicate in China or other countries. Start with the word:
- Hello = 你好 ni hao
- Nice to meet you= 很高兴认识你 hen gao xing ren shi ni
- We= 我们 wo men
- You= 你们 ni men
- Good morning = 早上好 zao Shang hao
- Good afternoon= 午安 wu an
- Good night = 晚安 wan an
- How are you= 你好吗ni hao ma
- I'm fine = 我很好wo hen hao
- I'm sorry= 对不起 dui bu qi
It'd be good to include the most important words of gratitude in your list too!
谢谢 Xie xie
Sounds like, "shi shi" right? That means, "urine" in Hawaii.
Haha not quite... the tonality of it is very important, so depending on the pronunciation it could mean "write", "shoes", or "rest a while"
The compound word 鞋鞋 xiěxié / shiieeshye is a word used by infants or their mothers speaking “motherese”: “shoesies”: 你的鞋子在哪裡啊 Nǐ de xiěxié zài nǎlǐ a / Niid shieeshye tzay naalii a? “Where are your shoesies?”
The other duplicated words are less common and not worth noticing.
