Notes

  • “早“, which means “Good morning!”. It is an everyday greeting used only when people meet each other in the morning.
  • “您” is the respective form of “你“. It is a respectful form of the second person pronoun “你“. It is normally reserved for old people or elders. To show politeness, one may extend its use to his peers, especially when meeting them for the first time.
