🎙Ever said “祝你好运” and got a weird look? You’re not alone — it’s not wrong, but it’s not how real people talk.
In this episode of eChineseLearningPod, Ruby and Eric unpack the surprising truth behind how to actually wish someone “good luck” in Chinese — without sounding like a robot 🤖 or a greeting card.
💥 Instead of “祝你好运” (zhù nǐ hǎo yùn), try:
✔️“加油!” (jiā yóu) – the go-to cheer for anything from interviews to Mondays
✔️“顺利!” (shùnlì) – wish things go smoothly
✔️“旗开得胜!” (qí kāi dé shèng) – start strong and win big
✔️“好运连连!” (hǎo yùn lián lián) – endless good luck!
You’ll learn when to use which phrase, what emotional energy each one carries, and how to sound genuinely supportive— whether you're cheering for a friend or hyping yourself up in the mirror 💪✨
🎧 Tune in and level up your Mandarin with real expressions for real life.
