Hi guys! 好久不见！ I thought I’d tide you over with a short(-ish) little (long) post about Chinese numbers that should quench your thirst for all things linguistically oriental.

‘Thank you’ in Various Asian Languages
Sudden revelation! In Chinese, the usual way to say ‘thank you’ is 谢谢 xièxie, though there is also a more formal word 感谢 gǎnxiè, which has roughly the same meaning.
