"大家好！"

Translation: Hello, everyone!

[Handrisuselo]

"大家" means everybody/everyone. Maybe it is an idiomatic expression. "大家" literally means "big house".

In Spanish, we say "todo el mundo". It literally means "all the world".

[Melarish]

I was just wondering if it's the same as French tout le monde. Didn't know there was a Spanish equivalent :)

[George792719]

I you'll find think it means "big family" even though there is no 人 after 家

家 can mean home or family. It's also a "classifier for families or businesses". Like in这 家 饭 馆 or This family restaurant.

Since Chinese are very family orientated people and the Han Chinese in particular see themselves as one family, I go with the family not house option.

It's also quite nice to think that everyone is the big family.

And Portuguese "todo o mundo"

[Mihail_Moldova]

same in Romanian: "toata lume"

Hello everybody!

[LuigiLinguine]

Hi Doctor Nick!

[Berjiault]

[Hsn626796]

And invaluable means valuable..

Perfect place to comment on what I had always wanted to comment on !!

[domsalazar0]

And infamous means famous

[AlanShezar]

Yeah, but famous in a bad way, lol.

[DannyDcruz1]

Politicians in Malaysia use this sentence to greet before giving speech.

[hippietrail]

Should accept "Hi, everyone" and "Hi, everybody".

[Celticfiddleguy]

And "Greetings everybody/ everyone/ all"

[dsweber2]

Hello World!

[zorrosombra]

Hi together

[Hsn626796]

Somebody explain it literally !

Everyone •Home•good ?!

[Juan_KW]

I think so, just like 你好, lit: You good?

[George792719]

It's funny that it won't accept the answer: Is everyone good?

Because that is literally what it says in Chinese.

[SJHan2]

Where do we get the idea that there is only one way of expressing the same thing!
