    These are the alternative phrases for "ni hao ma". Like this video if you think it's helpful ;)

    Here in México we actually ask "how are you?" in a daily basis, is the normal greeting. People that ask that normally are genuinely interested in how you have been doing will use that form. People that have known each other for a long time may not use that exact words but greet using a variation. That's why it is sometimes hard for Mexicans (and a lot of latin americans) to understand why 你好吗 is not commonly used.

      in respsonse to 3:13, we ask that multiple times a day in Australia. My wife's colleague from Mainland China finds all our plesantries a bit confronting too. Maybe they just don't have time for that stuff with their busy crowded city lives???

    Just say Ni Hao to strangers when approaching them. It's a general greeting that is accepted as a polite start. Like Sumimasen (excuse me) in Japanese. For "Ni Hao Ma", because the ending word is a question (How are you?), the person will have to reply. Since no reply is necessary for a greeting, just Ni Hao (Hi/hello) is correct.

    British people ask colleagues 'how are you' on the hourly basis so...

      Thanks Sam! If you meet someone who has higher position you can use the word "您 nin2” in the sentence which is a polite form and a respectful way to say "You" instead of "你". You can just simply greet him by saying "您好“. Then start a conversation with him with a friendly smile. ;)

    English ask everyone how are you 300 times a day. From every taxi you get in coffee shop you name it!! Thats why it makes sense to us to use it 🤣🤣🤣 so in answer to 3.29 where you say no. The answer for us is yes in fact we may even ask the same person if they vanish for an hour from our presence 😂 wish i was joking
