哈囉，大家好！ 哈啰，大家好！ Hello everyone!
I’m Grace
In today’s video, we’re going to learn 15 phrases
that are frequently used in daily Chinese conversation
You’ll learn how to say practical Chinese phrases like
“Take your time”, “I’m heading out” and “Talk to you later” etc.
Now let’s get started!
The first one is 你慢慢來
or you can just say “慢慢來”
It means “Take your time”.
You’re letting others know that you’re not in a hurry
and they don’t need to rush
The second one is 沒錯！
This phrase can be used to show your agreement with others
It means “Exactly!”
Other than 沒錯, you can also use “對啊”
“我也這樣覺得”
or “我也是這麼想的” to show your agreement
People also use “說的也是” to show that they agree with what you said
but this phrase implies that
they didn’t originally think or feel that way at first
The next one is 幹嘛
幹嘛 has several different meanings
But first of all, you need to keep in mind that
this word is very very casual
you can only use it with people who are close to you
If you use 幹嘛 by itself to form a question
it means “what?”
When your close friend is calling your attention
you can use 幹嘛? to reply
For example
In this conversation, she asked “你在幹嘛？”
and the person said “我沒在幹嘛啊”
Here “幹嘛” means “做什麼 doing what”
so 你在幹嘛 means “你在做什麼？What are you doing?”
and “我沒在幹嘛啊” means “我沒在做什麼啊 I’m not doing anything”
Another usage of 幹嘛 is that it can be added before a verb
to mean “為什麼”
and it often shows that you’re a bit unhappy. For example
The next one is 我好了 I’m good to go, I’m ready
When you finish something, and you want others to know that
you’re good to go, you can say “我好了” For example
Number nine is 那就好 good then, that’s good
那就好 is used as a response when you hear that
something you were a bit worried about has been taken care of
or it’s actually not a problem anymore.
You can use this phrase to show that you’re relieved.
Next, 麻煩你了
When we’re going to trouble someone to ask them to do something for us,
we often use this phrase “麻煩你了”.
It has the meaning of “Sorry for troubling you”,
“Sorry for making you do this”.
It’s a commonly used phrase to acknowledge others’ hard work in advance
and it’s also a way to show your appreciation.
The next one is 我先走了
The literal meaning of 我先走了 is “I’m gonna go (back/out) first”,
and it’s similar to “I’m leaving” or “I’m heading out” in English.
我先走了 is used when you’re leaving ahead of others. For example,
you’re leaving your office when your colleagues are still there,
or you’re leaving a party early, you can say
“我先走了, 再見！I’m heading out, bye!”
or “我先走了，拜拜！I’m heading out, bye!”
Number twelve is 你早點休息
or you can simply say “早點休息”
Its literal meaning is “Rest earlier”
and because it’s an imperative sentence, you can also add a “哦” at the end
and say 早點休息哦 to sound more friendly
This phrase is often used
when you are having a conversation with others at night
and you want to tell the other person
“Don’t work too hard” or “Don’t stay up too late”
then you can use this phrase “早點休息”.
And it often implies that this is the end of the conversation
So the conversation would usually go like this:
After you hang out with others
you might say something like “We should hang out again sometime”
or “Let’s meet up again next time”
in Chinese, you can say “有空再約”.
Other than 有空再約, you can also say 有機會再聊
or 下次再聊
They mean “Talk to you later”
So for example, you can say
Okay, that’s all for today!
Let me know in the comments which phrase you hear the most
