Ni Hǎo! (Hello!)

The first thing you need to learn is how to say hello in Chinese. The most common way to say hello is "你好" (nǐ hǎo), which means "you good." When you say "你好," be sure to emphasize the second syllable, "hǎo." You can also add a question mark at the end of the phrase to make it a question, like "你好吗?" (nǐ hǎo ma?), which means "are you good?"

Wǒ Shì... (My name is...)

Once you know how to say hello, you can introduce yourself. To say "my name is..." in Chinese, you say "我叫..." (wǒ jiào...). For example, if your name is John, you would say "我叫John" (wǒ jiào John).

Pleased to meet you.

After you introduce yourself, you can say "请多关照" (qǐng duō guān zhào), which means "please take care of me." This is a common phrase that is used to show respect and politeness.

Thank you.

To say thank you in Chinese, you say "谢谢" (xiè xiè). You can also add "你" (nǐ) before "谢谢" to make it more personal, like "谢谢你" (xiè xie nǐ), which means "thank you." There are many ways to say "thank you" in Chinese. You can use the phrase "非常感谢" (fēicháng gǎnxiè), which means "thank you very much." You can also use the phrase "不客气" (bú kèqì), which means "you're welcome."

Goodbye.

To say goodbye in Chinese, you can say "再见" (zàijiàn). You can also add "了" (le) at the end of the phrase to make it more formal, like "再见了" (zàijiàn le), which means "goodbye now." There are more ways to say "goodbye" in Chinese. You can use the phrase "拜拜" (bài bài), which is a more informal way to say goodbye. You can also use the phrase "后会有期" (hòu huì yǒu qī), which means "see you again."
