| Many Chinese numbers sound very similar to how another character may sound, therefore mimicking the meaning. Chinese people can be very creative in this way when they create new colloquial expressions. This is especially true in the form of internet slang with numbers! 666 Probably the most common phrase found in the internet slang world in China, the colloquialism 666 (liùliùliù) comes from 牛牛牛 (niuniuniu) meaning awesome, excellent, great etc. It definitely doesn’t have anything to do with the English meaning of this slang term which is often related to the Devil. When using colloquial Chinese slang, you will also hear younger people using street slang saying this. This can also be represented by holding your hand up to represent the number 6 in Chinese counting number language and waving it around.  520 Probably the second most common phrase you will see on internet slang or hear as street slang, especially around the date 5/20. (20th May). This date is Chinese internet Valentine’s Day. This is due to the fact that 520 (wǔ’èrlíng) represents 我爱你 wǒ ài nǐ which is Chinese for “I love you” 995 995 (jiǔ jiǔ wǔ) stands for 救救我 (jiù jiù wǒ) meaning ‘Help me!’ Not sure why you would need to use this one on internet slang or street slang, but it a common colloquial expression used in Chinese slang – perhaps sometimes used in an amusing or ironic way. 748 qī sì bā This in pinyin is qīsìbā. This represents 去死吧 (qùsǐba). This is pretty much a translation for “Go to hell“, “Get lost”, or, more literally “Go die!”. 88 “Bye bye” in Chinese also means the same as in English, goodbye. 88 (bābā) sounds like the same Chinese equivalent for ‘Bye Bye’. So, when ending that conversation impress your mates with saying ’88’. 233 233 represents the sound of laughter. The pinyin is èr sān sān which is similar to the 哈哈哈 (used as ‘lol’) which sounds like ‘hā hā hā‘. 555 Like how 233 represents the sound of laughter 555 (wǔwǔwǔ) represents the sound of crying. This comes from the characters 呜呜呜 (wūwūwū), which you have to admit does sound a lot like someone crying! 484 484 (sìbāsì) is similar to the 是不是 (shì búshì) meaning yes or no. # Our teachers # More than 10 years teaching experience Master Degree Certificate for teaching chinese as a foreign language   # About us # Founded in 2007 Chinese test and training center 200+ Chinese teachers 5000+ students  # Contact us# Name:fiona Phone number:021-52287809,13918358891 E-mail:info@mandarinmorning.com www.mandarinmorning.com If you are interested to join Mandarin Morning school or want more details about our services, scan the following QR code. ☟   Mandarin Morning Chinese test center attached to Confucius institute headquarters Authorized Test Center and Training Center for International Chinese Language Teacher Certificater 10 years+ ，200 teachers ，more 10000 students，200+companies  |
