You<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you\u2019re studying the Chinese language, or if you\u2019re simply planning on visiting China, one of the first things you should learn is <strong>how to say \u2018thank you\u2019.<\/strong> For English speakers, expressing gratitude can be as simple as saying just those two words, however, the Chinese language and culture requires a bit more effort than that.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Depending on the situation, there are several different ways to say thank you in Chinese. For example, in English you\u2019d be fine with just saying \u2018thank you\u2019 if a business partner does you a favor or gives you a nice gift, in Chinese, you\u2019ll need to be more careful about the kind of characters you use to express your gratitude since you\u2019ll want to also show respect to the other person. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Likewise, even when you\u2019re among your peers you wouldn\u2019t want to exaggerate your gratitude when a friend passes you a pen unless you want it to be seen as a way to distance yourself from the other person.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although this might sound a bit confusing right now, we\u2019ve prepared a quick guide that covers all the main ways to say thank you in Chinese in order to help you out and make expressing gratitude a bit clearer for foreign speakers. Moreover, knowing more than one word to say \u2018thank you\u2019 is a great way to expand your vocabulary as well as understanding the Chinese culture a little bit more.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Say_Thank_You_in_Chinese_in_Formal_Situations\"><\/span><strong>How to Say Thank You in Chinese in Formal Situations<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_%E9%BA%BB%E7%83%A6%E6%82%A8%E4%BA%86_ma_fan_nin_le-Sorry_for_your_trouble\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>1. \u9ebb\u70e6\u60a8\u4e86 (m\u00e1 fan n\u00edn le)-Sorry for your trouble<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although saying <strong>\u8c22\u8c22 (xi\u00e8xi\u00e8)<\/strong> is the standard way to thank somebody, you\u2019ll soon find out that this expression isn\u2019t always the right one to use. When learning the Chinese language, you\u2019ll notice that Chinese people have different ways of addressing each other depending on factors such as age, respect and social status of the other person. Whenever a situation can be described as \u2018formal\u2019, for example in office or business situations, the right Chinese symbol for \u2018thank you\u2019 to use could be <strong>\u9ebb\u70e6\u60a8\u4e86(m\u00e1 fan n\u00edn le).<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Literally speaking, this expression is the equivalent of \u2018inconvenient to you\u2019 and, since in English this can be seen as too self-deprecating, the more correct translation would be <strong>\u2018sorry for your trouble\u2019<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">More specifically, this expression is a formal way to say \u2018thank you\u2019 whenever someone of <strong>higher social status<\/strong> goes out of their way to help you or do you a favor. However, <strong>remember that \u9ebb\u70e6\u60a8\u4e86 is not exactly a formal apology,<\/strong> but it\u2019s a way you can express gratitude in office-like situations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before we move on to other options, notice that in this case, we\u2019re also using <strong>\u2018\u60a8\u2019 (n\u00edn)<\/strong>, which is a formal character used to address a person we want to show special respect to. <strong>This word is commonly used towards teachers, doctors, business partners, or older people<\/strong>, meaning that whenever you want to express gratitude, using \u60a8 instead of \u4f60 is already a good way to make the Chinese \u2018thank you\u2019 expression more formal.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_%E8%B0%A2%E8%B0%A2%E5%A4%A7%E5%AE%B6_xie_xie_da_jia-Thank_you_all\"><\/span><strong>2. \u8c22\u8c22\u5927\u5bb6 (xi\u00e8 xi\u00e8 d\u00e0 ji\u0101)-Thank you all<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another kind of formal situation could be a banquet, a business meeting, or any situation when you need to address a large group of people that you don\u2019t know very well. If that is the case, then the thank you in Chinese is <strong>\u8c22\u8c22\u5927\u5bb6(xi\u00e8xi\u00e8 d\u00e0ji\u0101)<\/strong>, which means \u2018thank you all\u2026\u2019. It can be used at the beginning of a speech as well as the end of it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is also important is that the second part of the sentence, the one that directly follows \u8c22\u8c22\u5927\u5bb6, should be specific. This means that, unlike a one-on-one situation, you should clearly state what you are thanking the group for. For instance:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u8c22\u8c22\u5927\u5bb6\u4eca\u5929\u5230\u573a&#8230;\u2019 (xi\u00e8xi\u00e8 d\u00e0ji\u0101 j\u012bnti\u0101n d\u00e0och\u01ceng) to thank everybody for coming today.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u8c22\u8c22\u5927\u5bb6\u7684\u5173\u6ce8\u2019 (xi\u00e8xi\u00e8 d\u00e0ji\u0101 de gu\u0101nzh\u00f9) to thank everybody for their attention.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Say_Thank_You_in_Chinese_in_a_Causal_Way\"><\/span><strong>How to Say Thank You in Chinese in a Causal Way<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now that we\u2019ve learned how to express gratitude in formal situations, it\u2019s time to move on to more casual expressions to say \u2018thank you\u2019.\u00a0 As we\u2019ve previously mentioned, the standard way to thank somebody is saying \u8c22\u8c22 (xi\u00e8xi\u00e8), however, there are several other variations you can learn to enrich your Chinese vocabulary.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_%E9%9D%9E%E5%B8%B8%E6%84%9F%E8%B0%A2_feichang_ganxie-Thank_you_very_much\"><\/span><strong>3. \u975e\u5e38\u611f\u8c22 (f\u0113ich\u00e1ng g\u01cenxi\u00e8)-Thank you very much!<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first variation we\u2019ll focus on is \u2018Thank you very much!\u2019, which can be expressed by using the Chinese expression \u975e\u5e38\u611f\u8c22 (f\u0113ich\u00e1ng g\u01cenxi\u00e8). Moreover, this sentence can also be abbreviated by only saying \u611f\u8c22 (G\u01cenxi\u00e8). What\u2019s great about this specific saying is that it can be <strong>used in casual situations as well as semi-formal ones<\/strong> whenever you want to express a great deal of gratitude.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, if you want to thank somebody for helping you out, you can say: <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u975e\u5e38\u611f\u8c22\u4f60\u7684\u5e2e\u52a9\uff01 (F\u0113ich\u00e1ng g\u01cenxi\u00e8 n\u01d0 de b\u0101ngzh\u00f9!)<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_%E8%B0%A2%E4%BA%86_xie_le-Thanks\"><\/span><strong>4. \u8c22\u4e86 (xi\u00e8 le)-Thanks<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When we want to express gratitude in a quick and informal way, we have a couple of good options we can turn to. The first one is a simple \u8c22\u4e86 (xi\u00e8 le), which is often used when speaking to a friend or in general text conversations through a cellphone. Basically, this is the Chinese correspondent of the word \u2018Thanks\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_%E5%A4%9A%E8%B0%A2_duo_xie-Many_thanks\"><\/span><strong>5. \u591a\u8c22 (du\u014d xi\u00e8)-Many thanks<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The second abbreviation we can use in informal situations is \u591a\u8c22 (Du\u014dxi\u00e8), which could be translated with \u2018many thanks\u2019. As with \u8c22\u4e86, this expression is preferred in text messages or when talking to someone you know well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A couple of example sentences with \u591a\u8c22 could be <\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u591a\u8c22\u4f60\u7684\u5173\u5fc3 (du\u014dxi\u00e8 n\u01d0 de gu\u0101nx\u012bn): thank you for your concern.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u8ba9\u4f60\u8d39\u795e\u4e86\uff0c\u591a\u8c22\uff0c\u591a\u8c22\uff01(r\u00e0ng n\u01d0 f\u00e8ish\u00e9nle, du\u014dxi\u00e8, du\u014dxi\u00e8): Thanks a lot for the trouble you\u2019ve taken to help me!.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_%E6%84%9F%E6%81%A9_ganen-Gratitude\"><\/span><strong>6. \u611f\u6069 (g\u01cen&#8217;\u0113n)-Gratitude<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>It is originally a noun expressing a feeling of appreciation felt by the recipient of kindness.

The meaning of the expression is similar to the English sentence \u2018I owe you one\u2019 and it conveys gratitude as well as<strong> the intention to do something to help the other person as well whenever they might need it.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_Not_to_Say_Thank_You_in_Chinese\"><\/span><strong>When Not to Say Thank You in Chinese<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Saying \u2018thank you\u2019 a lot can be like a routine in Western cultures and oftentimes Chinese foreign speakers don\u2019t notice how often they use this expression. However, in China, overusing words such as \u2018thank you\u2019 or \u2018please\u2019 it\u2019s not seen as a positive or polite thing to do. This happens because when you express gratitude too often, especially if you\u2019re talking to a friend or somebody you\u2019re close to, the other person might feel like you\u2019re trying to create a formal situation and distance yourself from them by violating your intimacy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For this reason, it\u2019s better to avoid overusing gratitude expressions, especially when the favor you asked for isn\u2019t something serious or time-consuming.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9_%E5%93%AA%E9%87%8C%E5%93%AA%E9%87%8C%EF%BC%81nali_nali_Youre_flattering_me\"><\/span><strong>9. \u54ea\u91cc\u54ea\u91cc\uff01(n\u01cel\u01d0 n\u01cel\u01d0!): You\u2019re flattering me<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lastly, <strong>if you receive a compliment, in Chinese is common to deflect it regardless of your gender or type of compliment. Remember that behaving humbly is of great importance in Chinese culture<\/strong>, therefore, answering with \u8c22\u8c22 or other expressions to say \u2018thank you\u2019 is not the right thing to do. In these cases, the best solution to appear modest and humble is to deflect the compliment by saying <strong>\u54ea\u91cc\u54ea\u91cc\uff01(n\u01cel\u01d0 n\u01cel\u01d0!)<\/strong>, or <span class=\"JsGRdQ\">\u60a8\u8fc7\u5956\u4e86\uff01(N\u00edn gu\u00f2ji\u01cengle!) <\/span>an expression that can be translated with<strong> \u2018you\u2019re flattering me\u2019 or \u2018you\u2019re too kind\u2019<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the alternative, answering to a compliment with <strong>\u4e0d\uff0c\u4e0d\uff01(B\u00f9, b\u00f9!)<\/strong> and waving your hands to say \u2018No, no!\u2019 is another good way to come off as humble.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"600\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/blog.chineseskill.com\/ja\/2021\/02\/04\/thank-you-in-chinese\/blue-and-white-workplace-guidelines-coronavirus-poster\/#main\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.chineseskill.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Blue-and-White-Workplace-Guidelines-Coronavirus-Poster.png?fit=1562%2C2038&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1562,2038\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.chineseskill.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Blue-and-White-Workplace-Guidelines-Coronavirus-Poster.png?fit=769%2C1003&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-600\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.chineseskill.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Blue-and-White-Workplace-Guidelines-Coronavirus-Poster.png?resize=600%2C783&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"how to say thank you in Chinese\" width=\"600\" height=\"783\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.chineseskill.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Blue-and-White-Workplace-Guidelines-Coronavirus-Poster.png?resize=230%2C300&amp;ssl=1 230w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.chineseskill.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Blue-and-White-Workplace-Guidelines-Coronavirus-Poster.png?resize=785%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 785w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.chineseskill.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Blue-and-White-Workplace-Guidelines-Coronavirus-Poster.png?resize=768%2C1002&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.chineseskill.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Blue-and-White-Workplace-Guidelines-Coronavirus-Poster.png?resize=1177%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1177w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.chineseskill.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Blue-and-White-Workplace-Guidelines-Coronavirus-Poster.png?resize=1200%2C1566&amp;ssl=1 1200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.chineseskill.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Blue-and-White-Workplace-Guidelines-Coronavirus-Poster.png?w=1562&amp;ssl=1 1562w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Respond_to_People_When_They_Say_Thank_You\"><\/span><strong>How to Respond to People When They Say Thank You<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In order to increase your knowledge of the Chinese language and culture, it\u2019s good to know how to say \u2018you are welcome\u2019 in Chinese.
