It's that time of the year again – Chinese New Year is here! If you're wondering how to wish your loved ones a happy new year, look no further. Whether you want to say it in Chinese or Mandarin, we've got you covered.

This year, Chinese New Year falls on Saturday, February 10 and it marks the beginning of the Year of the Dragon. This traditional holiday, also known as the Spring Festival, lasts for just over two weeks, until the full moon.

Now, onto the important question – how do you wish someone a Happy Chinese New Year? Well, it actually depends on who you're addressing and how. There are various ways to greet your friends, family, colleagues or even strangers during this festive season.

If you want to say it in Mandarin, the phrase is "xin nian kuai le" which is pronounced as "shin nee-an kwai le". You can also use a shortened version, "xin nian hao" which is pronounced as "shin nee-an how". This is the perfect greeting for your loved ones.

But what if you missed the exact day of Chinese New Year? No worries, you can still wish someone a happy new year with the phrase "guo nian hao" which is pronounced as "gor nee-an how". This greeting can be used both on the day and shortly after.

If you want to mix things up, you can also wish someone a happy new year by saying "chun jie kuai le" which means "happy spring festival" and is pronounced as "chwen jee-eh kwai le". Similarly, "xin nian hao" can be replaced with "chun jie hao" which is pronounced as "chwen jee-eh how".

And just like that, you're now equipped to spread some Chinese New Year cheer! But wait, there's more. Did you know that Chinese New Year is also known as "chun jie" or "spring festival"? So, you can also wish your loved ones a happy new year by saying "chun jie kuai le" or "chun jie hao".
