6 Other Ways to Say Hello in Chinese

 “nǐhǎo” is basically the first phrase that you learn in Chinese class. People tend not to use it so much with people who they’re at all familiar with. It is kind of awkwardly formal.
“nínhǎo” is the respectful form of “nǐhǎo” – it’s used with people whom you want to express respect towards (a teacher, perhaps). “nínhǎo” is actually used and appropriate in such situations.
