Mu Qin Jie Kuai Le (Happy Mother's Day)







Hi, guys~ Nice to see u today.
Since Mother's Day (Mu Qin Jie) is coming, Ten Ten wants to teach you how to express your thanks and love to your Mom~

Terms we lean today:
Mother's Day = 母亲节 (mu qin jie)
Happy Mother's Day = 母亲节快乐 (mu qin jie kuai le)
Mom, I love you = 妈妈, 我爱妳 (ma ma wo ai ni)
Mom, thank you  = 妈妈, 谢谢 (ma ma xie xie)

Pronunciation with tones:






Note:

1) Ma Ma
Like most people in the world, Chinese people also call their mother "Ma-ma" in daily life.
Then, what's the difference between Ma-ma and Mu Qin?
Mu Qin: a formal term
Ma-Ma: a casual term

2) Wo ai Ni
"Wo ai Ni" means "I love you"~
"Wo ai Ni" is a practical sentence~ You can use it to anyone you love (ex. parents, lovers...)

3) Xie Xie
"Xie Xie" means "Thank you"~
It is also a practical term~

  1. Noticed a typo error on your blog entry title.
    The correct Mother's Day pinyin is Mu Qin Jie.
