| 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!  530 The pinyin for this one is wǔsānlíng which sounds like the Chinese for “I miss you” which is 我想你 (wǒ xiǎng nǐ). 1314 You’ll usually see 1314 (yīsānyīsì) after a phrase such as I love or even the slang 520, can you guess what it means? It comes from the Chinese 一生一世 (yīshēng yīshì) which means “forver”. 4242 Say this one aloud (sìèrsìèr) and you might be able to tell what it is. This one represents saying “Yes” which in Chinese can be 是啊是啊 (shìa shìa). 7456 This Chinese number slang means “I’m angry”, 7456 (qīsìwǔliù) represents the phrase 气死我了 (qìsǐ wǒle). 918 Now this one you will see a lot whenever someone is sending encouraging thoughts. 918 (jiǔyāobā) represents the phrase 加油吧 (jiāyóu ba) which means “good luck” or “come on!”. Fun fact 加油 (jiāyóu) literally means to “add oil” and can also be used to mean refuel. 514 The pinyin for this one is wǔyāosì which sounds like you’re saying 我要死 (wǒ yào sǐ) which means “I want to die”. Yes, this may seem a little over dramatic, but hey that’s the world of Chinese netizens after all! 56 If someone sends a 56 your way prepare to be insulted as 56 (wǔliù) means “boring” or 无聊 (wúliáo) in Chinese. 250 Lastly on our list of Chinese slang that uses numbers we have 250 èrbǎiwǔ which means “idiot”. Unlike most of the other number slang phrases on our list this one doesn’t represent a phrase that it sounds similar to. Instead, 250 actually refers to an ancient Chinese saying for idiot. Basically, in ancient China they used a currency called 吊 diào and 1000 was a unit or “stack” of that currency. So, half a 吊 diào was a 半吊子 bàndiàozi or 500. To show modesty scholars would say they were a 半吊子 bàndiàozi or “half a stack” to be self-deprecating. Then half of 500 is 250, so to not even be a half stack you really must be an idiot! # 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  |
