Hello. What platonic things can I say when meeting about approaching women in China? I know a few things:
Li Hao/Nin Hao – hello
Ni Hao Ma? – How are you?
Wo hen hao – I am fine
What other expressions can I use?
Please help me out – thank you.
chinese people, like all people, appreciate it when you try to speak their language. although some will laugh its mostly because they think its surprising a westerner can speak chinese because it’s not nearly as common as chinese people speaking english. just try and use body language. sometimes that can be the most effective.

People in china have been learning english at a rapid rate over the past decade. In many major cities you may get a big surprise. Try to speak chinese, although i think you will find many people who will want to practise english.

In shanghai, some of restaurants full of english
you can say:
wei, ni hao ma / hi. how are you
—
wo hen hao / i’m really fine
—
xie xie / thank you
—
wo jiao Jason / My name is Jason
—
Ren shi ni, hen gao xing / It’s nice to meet you
That’s quite a lot.

Watch your tune
