How do you say later in Chinese?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If you mean as in "see you later" In Pinyin The colloquial is zàijiàn If you mean the word "Later" itself is guòhòu or yǐhòu Answer: There is no real one answer as Chinese has many dialects (e.g. Mandarin, Wu, Xiang, Hakla, Yue, Min Nan, etc.) which are mutually unintelligible to speakers of other dialects. Even knowing the pinyin or the phonetic equivalent does not help the average westerner as "Chinese" is a tonal language (Which explains why the phrase "Is that a mad mother horse? sounds like "Ma ma ma ma?" to the untrained ear). As examples "See you later" or "Goodbye" would be:

Cantonese 再見 (joigin) 拜拜 (baaibaai) Mandarin 再見 [再见] (zàijiàn) 拜拜 (bàibài)
