[quote=ICEBLUE,250733]There are huge differences in greeting each other between Chinese people and Westerners. Westerners greet others by saying "Hi or Hello". In China, a popular greeting is "你吃了吗?" Ni (third tone) Chi(first) Le( First) Ma( third). It means "have you eaten already?" Does it sound awkward to you westerners? Why do you ask me if I have eaten or not? Perhaps, you will think “do you want to treat me to a dinner". Do you know any other Chinese greetings? Please share with us.[/quote]
