Learn Chinese

Happy New Year in Chinese

Very soon, we are going to usher in the 2010. Let me wish you Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year.

Well, you may want to send the same greetings in Chinese to your friends well. I’ve already shown you how Merry Christmas is said and written in Chinese. Now, let’s look at how to say and write ‘Happy New Year’.

The good news is the greeting that you are about to learn can be used for both the Gregorian calendar new year, and the traditional Chinese lunar new year.

Again, I’d demonstrate to you in the video how the greeting is written in both the simplified and traditional Chinese.

You may also want to see the greeting in print.

新年快乐

新年快樂

If you are sending the greeting to someone in places like China and Singapore, use the simplified Chinese. If you are writing to someone in places like Taiwan are Hong Kong, write in the traditional Chinese.

Do not forget that the few words that you write in the Chinese characters can be a good way to show your sincerity, especially when Chinese is not your first language. I’m sure your friends will receive it with deep appreciation.

Enjoy writing!
