"Long time no see!"

Translation: 好久不见！

[Talos_the_Cat]

So funny that it's a Chinese phrase calqued into English... And now we're translating it literally here

[Jerry749541]

What is the real translation? Is it maybe "good time not seen"?

You can add 好 in front of an adjective to make it greater or more emphasis.

這裡好多人 - There's so many people here

那個車好慢 - That car is super slow

他思考好久 - He thinks for a really long time

Probably, Haven't seen you for ages))

Has anyone heard 很久不见 used? A Chinese colleague said he says it that way

[Harley472168]

Couldnt it also be "好久没见"?

[Gabrielle145359]

好久不见 is a set phrase on Chinese, as "Long time no see" is a set phrase in English.
