June 13, 2012. 1. "Ni hao" (pronounced as "nee haow") is the basic greeting in Mandarin, which can be literally translated as "you good" in English. The first word "ni" is pronounced with a tone that rises in pitch, while the second word "hao" is pronounced with a tone that dips followed by a rising pitch. Hi, I'd like to know the difference between ni hao and nin hao. I mean, could you also say ni hao to somebody you don't know? Does it show respect or is better to use nin hao? Thank you. If you ask how someone is, you turn the greeting into a question by adding the question word ma, you say Ni hao ma. More formal greetings include: Ni zao! A morning greeting. Zao! A morning Synonym for Ni hao hello. are you ok？ English (US) French (France) German Italian Japanese Korean Polish Portuguese (Brazil) Portuguese (Portugal) Russian Simplified Chinese (China) Spanish (Mexico) Traditional Chinese (Taiwan) Turkish Vietnamese A direct translation is 你好吗？ ni hao ma? But you will find Chinese native speakers never use it to greet people, generally, they will use 你怎么样？ ni zen me yang? or 你最近怎么样？ ni zui jin zen me yang? Neih hou (pronounced "nay hoe") replaces ni hao. both words have a rising tone. Note: Although neih hou ma? is grammatically correct, it is uncommon to say this in Cantonese. A common response in Cantonese is gei hou which means "fine." Is "你们好" (nǐmen hǎo) in actual use for greeting multiple people at once? I just felt like typing "hello" in Chinese in a chat room (with no Chinese speakers in it but what the hey) .
