"Bu zemeyang" is an interesting one There is a very similar phrase in russian, the question would be "Ti kak?" ("you how" ie "how are you") and the answer is "nikak" With exactly the same meaning, "don't even ask" Comment from : Serge Tarasov

Ni hao ma sounds like Are you sane ? Comment from : Brukujin Brokujin

It’s not just dictionary translation It’s what I’ve seen in textbooks in the US and I’m Chinese American I went to Chinese school in Chinatown so we used Chinese textbooks from Taiwan But I’ve seen westernized textbooks teach Americans to say No Hao Ma Lol It’s the same when I learn Spanish and I’m being taught some made up unifying Spanish language because Spanish differs in every country Since US is so close to Mexico, they should’ve just opted to teach us Mexican Spanish Oh well Comment from : S L

I love this! But one question: “You good?” Is a common slang way of asking if someone is alright or if they need something Could “Ni Hao ma” be used in the same way? Comment from : Shana Garrett

Interesting because my native Chinese (Former) Girlfriend taught me "Nī hăo ma"brbrNotably she was from Taiwan and lived in Hong Kong in her 30's until 1970s so there may be an age / time frame issue brBut hard to believe your 'never' argument Comment from : LifesFun

Actually i had this question for a long time like are you good? How is that equivalent of how are you, guess its not Comment from : merrium gangstar

Don't use "how to say" as a question brbrI've been completely unable to get any Chinese people to stop doing this though, except for my gf of over ten years Comment from : anonamatron

What happened to telling the real very??? Comment from : Bill y

Thanks, I tried to look up "ng" in a Mandarin dictionary and it wasn't there Were you referring to "èn" (嗯)? Comment from : Bright Idea

Honestly saying "How are you?" as a greeting in English is often a poor choice Unless you're both ready to settle in and catch up, just say "Hello" or "Good Day"brbrAsking someone "How are you?" as you blow past them or they're clearly heading somewhere away from you is very rude Comment from : AmoebaInk

Wow in Spanish we used the same concept We short frases to sound natural ❤❤❤ Comment from : Jose Silguero

Ma ma hu hu! Comment from : Peter Pan

Lmao its because that's Cantonese not Mandarin Lol I lived in China and hong Kong Never didn't! Hear a Cantonese or area not say ni hou ma or you ma or a quick ma and iut not mean hi what's up how are you or such Lol haven't seen a hong Kong or Guandong video either it not being said in video Comment from : Terry Armbruster

Thanks mr Excellent video 👍👍👍👍thanks for sharing Comment from : HM 🌍

In my opinion, the reason behind “Have you eaten yet?” is people normally go out after meals, so this greeting is a good conversation starter You don’t greet people with it around 10am to 11am, because it doesn’t make any sense Comment from : L W

This is the insight I was looking for 🙏 Comment from : Peruvianbean

“回来了啊？” Comment from : Fordance100

Please dont ask have you eaten Unless you want others to look at yiu weird Lol This js a very outdated greeting only used by elderlies in villages Comment from : Mard

I’m a native speaker and at least from my experience and where I’m from we do say 你好吗 to each other and typically is answered with 好 or 还可以。 In informal settings we use 好不好 We use some of the other ones as well but it’s not uncommon to get hit by a 你好吗 after a good morning Comment from : CarSeatFries

Depends who you're asking actually Comment from : Tom Eu

Hi Andy, I have a question for you, hope you are able to guide me through itbrHow to say “江湖” in English ?brThe “江湖” I mean is not River LakebrWhat I mean is, usually in Chinese wuxia drama, it frequently mentioned “江湖仗义”, “闯江湖”, “江湖大侠”, how or which suitable words to use to describe these ? Comment from : Alexandria Elony

You looked like Chinese and you are speaking Chinese, but do you really understand Chinese？😂😂😂 Comment from : Jens Sabai

I just yell Ganma! Comment from : John BTS

Is 'Ni hao ma' Cantonese and not Mandarin ?? brI have heard it spoken many time in Hong Kong Comment from : FREE HONG KONG

Good or not good are indeed adjectives in English but your answer should be ADVERBS to be grammatically correct In English it is incorrect to answer the question How are you? with the response Good One must answer with an adverb, WELL or not WELL or similar If you are to be credible, you must be competent, that is, make as few conspicuous errors as possible Comment from : Blog Editor

Very helpful video, thank you! I have seen this video a year ago without understanding anything and now, after having done a Chinese course for almost two semesters, a know almost all of the signs :) Feels so good Cheers from Germany Comment from : Jakob Bauz

if you meet your very close friends or buddies, you actually say dirty words or insulting words to them, and it's perfectly normal and not offending 😂😂😂 Comment from : heimuk

The Garo people, are a Tibeto-Burmese ethnic group inhabiting predominantly in Northeast Indian states of Meghalaya, Assam, Tripura and Nagaland, and in some neighbouring areas of Bangladesh Historically, the name Garo was used for wide range of inhabitant in southern bank of Brahmaputra but now refers to those who call themselves A•chik Mande (literally "hill people," from A•chik "bite soil" + mande "people") or simply A•chik or Mande and the name "Garo" is now being used by outsiders as an exonym[4]They are the second-largest tribe in Meghalaya after the Khasi and comprise about a third of the local population Comment from : Tengkim with Jekoni official news
