Hi everyone! I’ve been thinking a lot about how rich and expressive Chinese is. I’m from Vietnam, so I also find it super interesting to study Chinese, when a lot of Vietnamese words come from Chinese! There are so many words that carry deep meanings, evoke emotions, or just sound beautiful.
For me, my favorite Chinese word is “慢慢” (màn màn). It means “slowly” or “take your time,” and I love how it reminds me to enjoy the journey rather than rush through life. Every time I hear it, it feels calming and encouraging.
I’d love to hear yours! What’s your favorite Chinese word, and what makes it special to you? Is it the meaning, the sound, or maybe a memory connected to it?
Can’t wait to see your answers!
