Cultural Insight: Expressing Emotions in Chinese

In Chinese culture, it is common to use indirect expressions when talking about emotions. For example, instead of saying “I love you,” one might say 我喜欢你 (wǒ xǐhuān nǐ), which means “I like you.” Understanding these nuances is essential for effective communication.
