## More situations

## What do you write in a Chinese wedding card?

百年好合 (bǎinián hǎohé, a hundred years of harmony) and 永结同心 (yǒng jié tóngxīn, hearts joined forever) are the classic four-character wishes, often written together; 新婚快乐 (xīnhūn kuàilè, happy wedding) is the simple one. Sign it 祝 (zhù, wishing) and your name.

## How much money goes in a wedding red envelope?

Money is given in a red envelope (红包, hóngbāo), handed over with both hands with 这是我们的一点心意 (a little something from us). People give an even amount, often with 6 or 8 in it, and never one with a 4, since 四 (sì) sounds like 死 (sǐ, death).

## How do I say them right?

Press Play and say each phrase with the voice, slow first, then at normal speed. Each word’s pinyin is above it, its tone marked.

## Can’t hear it?

Play uses your device’s Mandarin voice. Edge, Chrome and Safari have one; a browser with none plays each word in our recorded voice instead.
