How do you say Thank You in Chinese?
How do you convert thank you into Chinese?
It is perhaps one of the most common languages around, but lately, tonnes of babelfish readers have been having trouble with this. The Chinese translation of thank you is '谢谢'.1 translation in Chinese

People naturally may want to know how to pronounce this word. 谢谢 is written "xiexie" in the Romanized Mandarin Chinese system (called "pinyin"). The sound of that "x" is between "s" and "sh," and in fact it is sometimes spelled "hs." The "i" is a /y/ sound, and the "e" is what English speakers know of as a "short 'e'." So 谢谢="xiexie"=/hsye-hsye/. You can see that this word is a repetition of two characters; however, in this case the first one (the first syllable)--a sharp, falling tone--is always pronounced stronger than the second one. (You might think of the second one as merely an echo of the first.)
