Aside from the universal magic word that you might have known from the very first day of your Chinese learning – “\u8c22\u8c22 xiè xie (thank you)”, there are still lots of other Chinese phrases that will do wo<\/em>nders for you. Today I will introduce a few popular polite Chinese phrases that will bring you co<\/em>nvenience in your every day life in a mandarin speaking environment. See if you already know all of them?<\/p>\n

1. \u501f\u8fc7 jiè guò – “Please let me pass to the other side.” or “Excuse me ( I need to pass.)”<\/p>\n

Literally it means “borrow to pass “. Isn’t it easy to memorize? Whenever you need to pass through people you can use this word.<\/p>\n

2. \u591a\u8c22 du\u014d xiè – “Much appreciated.”<\/p>\n

Literally it means “much appreciated “… Do I need to explain anymore? While \u8c22\u8c22 xiè xie can do the job of expressing your gratitude, \u591a\u8c22 du\u014d xiè can do a even better job.<\/p>\n

3. \u62b1\u6b49 bào qiàn – “Sorry.”<\/p>\n

Literally it means “hold apologies “. It’s a neater ex<\/em>pression to express “you’re sorry” than \u5bf9\u4e0d\u8d77 duì bu q\u01d0.<\/p>\n

4. \u4e0d\u597d\u610f\u601d bù h\u01ceo yì si – “Sorry, I am so silly to do this.”<\/p>\n

Literally it means “not good meaning”. Well, definitely the literal translation is just too off. If you get familiar with this phrase, actually it could be very useful when you need to express all different kinds of apologies. The meaning of it is a bit more on blaming yourself than \u62b1\u6b49 bào qiàn or \u5bf9\u4e0d\u8d77 duì bu q\u01d0. Usually it shows you do realizing your mistakes and feel sorry for that (we’re talking a<\/em>bout minor mistakes here.)<\/p>\n

5. \u606d\u559c\u606d\u559c g\u014dng x\u01d0 g\u014dng x\u01d0 – “Congratulations!”<\/p>\n

To co<\/em>ngratulate people with their new achievements, promotion, no babies etc.<\/p>\n
