打招呼 Greeting in Taiwanese Mandarin

Addy Chen

第一堂中文課都會提到打招呼:
Greetings are mentioned in the first Chinese class:

台灣人打招呼
In Taiwan, when we greet we say:
1.嗨 Hāi = Hi
2.哈囉Hā luō =Hello
以上兩個是從英文直接音譯來中文的。
The above two are direct transliterations from English to Chinese.

3.你好Nǐ hǎo* 


早上打招呼時:
When we greet in the morning, we say:

1.早Zǎo = Morning
2.早安Zǎo ān = Good Morning

曾經有學生問我,為什麼是:「早安」?
My student asks me why is "早安"?
「安」是什麼意思?
What is "安" meaning?

早安,早晨、平安
Good morning, morning, peace and safety.
平安 Peace and safety 
(我個人認為還有一個意思:我希望你一整天平安)
(For my personal, I think it also means that I wish you peace and safety the whole day.)

中午:
午安Wǔ ān = Good afternoon.

晚上:
晚上就有趣了,在台灣我們「晚安」說在睡覺前
That's interesting at night when we greet, "晚安" is said before we go to bed.
所以當你在台灣晚上遇到朋友時,我們說:「嗨」,最多說:「你今天還好嗎?」
Therefore, you just say, "Hi", "Hello", or "How are you today?" when you meet your friend at night in Taiwan.

睡覺前:
Before going to bed:
晚安Wǎn'ān = Good night
