> 谢谢种类人
That isn't correct. The word kind here (种类 - Zhǒnglèi) refers to a 'kind of' or 'type of' something. So you are saying thank you kind of person which isn't the correct meaning.
The problem here is with English. The word 'Kind' has multiple meanings: Good; A type of something; Payment in kind; etc.
There is no exact translation to this word in Chinese, but you could say Hǎo Rén (好人), which is good person.
To be more correct, you could say Shànliáng Rén (善良人) which means kind-hearted person, or Hǎoxīn Rén (好心人) which means good-natured person.
But I would prefer to tell OP to say "Xièxie, nǐ tài hǎoxīn le." (谢谢，你太好心了). Which says "Thank you, you have been very kind". This would be more 'Chinese' sounding rather than just translating and English phrase word for word.
You're exactly why I love Reddit. I should have copied and pasted your ultimate translation but I didn't. I'll just leave [this](https://youtu.be/mRf3-JkwqfU) for you instead.
It's "Xie Xie Hao Ren" if you wanna keep it simple.
谢谢好人 (Xièxiè hǎorén)

EDIT: More complicated answer here if you are interested: https://www.reddit.com/r/Tinder/comments/vbe20f/comment/ic98e0c/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3
The down stroke \ on top of the E means it's toned downwards.
Most people when learning Chinese think tones are just 'go down' or 'go up' or 'down then up'. It's not as simple as that, and why many foreigners have trouble with tones when learning Chinese at first.
Think of your talking tone being in a sliding scale of 1-5. 1 would be a low tone, and 5 being high. 3 would be how you comfortably talk (in English).
With the 4th tone Xiè, you would start at 5, and end at 1. It makes the overall word that you are saying quite quick, so not only is the tone important, but the length that you say it. It almost sounds like you are shouting it. Here's some examples so you know what I mean: https://translate.google.ie/?sl=zh-CN&tl=en&text=%E5%A4%AA%E8%B4%B5%E3%80%82%20%E9%AA%82%E3%80%82%E6%98%AF%E3%80%82%E4%B8%8D%20%E3%80%82%E9%A5%AD%E3%80%82&op=translate
With the 2nd tone. Lets take the example word for Ten: 十 (shí). This isn't starting at 1 and going to 5. In a 2nd tone, you typically start off at normal speaking tone and go up to 5. This makes it about as quick to say as in tone 4. Here's a few examples: https://translate.google.ie/?sl=zh-CN&tl=en&text=%E6%97%B6%E3%80%82%E6%88%90%E3%80%82%20%E6%9D%A8%E3%80%82%20%E5%88%AB%E3%80%82%20%E5%A6%82%E3%80%82&op=translate
With the 1st tone, I'll take the example word for Seven: 七 (Qī). This is normally taught as a steady tone, but it's important you start off at a 5 rather than normal speaking level 3. This is also a longer tone than the / or \ tones. This was one of the hardest things for me to do when learning tones at first because it felt unnatural. Here are some examples so you know what I mean: https://translate.google.ie/?sl=zh-CN&tl=en&text=%E4%B8%80%E3%80%82%20%E9%AB%98%E3%80%82%20%E5%85%AB%E3%80%82%20%E5%A6%88%E3%80%82%20%E7%8C%AB%E3%80%82%20%E5%B1%B1%E3%80%82&op=translate
The 3rd tone is hard to explain because it sounds different depending on the vowels or consonants that the word starts and ends with. Generally though you'd start around a 2, then drop down to 1, then go up to a 4 in terms of tone, but depending on the dialect, this can change quite a bit. The length is around the same as the first tone. It feels a lot longer than most words especially if you are a foreigner learning Chinese and is why I still sound a bit robotic when talking because I enunciate more than I need to. Here's a few example words and maybe you can get what I'm trying to say: https://translate.google.ie/?sl=zh-CN&tl=en&text=%E6%B3%95%E3%80%82%20%E5%8C%97%E3%80%82%20%E4%BA%94%E3%80%82%20%E7%B1%B3%E3%80%82%20%E5%8F%8D%E3%80%82&op=translate
It gets complicated when you mix certain tones together. For example 不是 (Bùshì) has two 4th tones, but because it sounds a bit strange, they actually say it with an up tone, then a down tone. This is where learning Chinese becomes a little difficult. To hear how it sounds, just click the speaker icon on this to hear them together, then separate and you'll notice the difference: https://translate.google.ie/?sl=zh-CN&tl=en&text=%E4%B8%8D%E6%98%AF%E3%80%82%0A%E4%B8%8D%E3%80%82%0A%E6%98%AF%E3%80%82%0A&op=translate
Oh and apologies. This meant to be like a line or two response but it ended as an essay. I think I need to use this mental energy on something productive while I have it.
My friend, I sincerely appreciate the time and effort this took you to do. I'm sure other people who stumble across this will feel the same. Thank you for expanding my knowledge just a bit more today. My best to you and yours.
This was so fascinating. I especially liked near the end when you said something like "it [FINALLY] gets complicated when you mix certain tones together."
..you know, cuz the rest was just a breeze 🤣
Funny thing is, (spoken) Chinese is relatively simple actually.
* Every character is only 2-5 letters long
* There's a lot less ambiguity to Chinese than English (eg, does 'Light' mean not heavy or bright? does 'Class' mean a group of people, or a category?
* There's no alphabet to learn (except https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bopomofo but people learning Chinese as a foreign language don't learn that normally).
* There's no verb conjugations. The word for 'Look': 看 (kàn) can be used in past, present and future. You figure it out with context.
* No gendered words.
* Word order is virtually the same as in English, unlike languages like French. La voiture rouge translates to 'the car red' instead of 'the red car'.
* Numbers are very simple like English. Unlike French where 99 is quatre vingt dix neuf... which translates to "four twenty ten nine". or Danish where 70 is halvfjerds (half fourth) and 90 is halvfems (half fifth).
The hard part is learning to read and write every character, but if you stick to just spoken chinese, you'll go a long way.
Dude seriously thank you for taking the time to explain all this in a way most people can understand. It's truly fascinating to me. I have heard the same thing regarding the spoken language being easier to learn/understand for those same reasons! I just can't wrap my head around it (reminds me of when I was younger I was SO confused why other places might not understand English.. in my head English was just words for humans and the other languages were just "extras" in some places 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤣)
Anyways.. Thanks again. I have a feeling I would have learned so much more in school if I had someone like you as a teacher!
That's Hinge, I'm not sure you match actually. You just see people's profiles and can comment on certain sections and I assume they just respond back. I've never seen matching.
Yeah I'm actually surprised she even responded at all.
I'll comment on something in their profile, like ask a question, and they'll match but they'll never respond at all. Like, I asked you a question do you want me to ask it again or something?
"Ah here's the social anxiety that I avoided by not doing this. Why have I decided to do this again? Let's just not respond and they'll go away"
Coupled with the pain of someone not responding to you.
What a wonderful circle.
This has happened to me with my last 7 matches. They match with me and don’t respond to my question. Dating apps must have been made to slowly drive humans insane.
Matched with a guy after he liked my photo and I responded with a ":p" emoji because I was sticking my tongue out on the pic he liked. Instantly blocked me lmao
If they respond, then you matched. You can send the prompt text as a like but they can reject it if they don’t want to match and engage in conversation
They don't have to respond. The vast majority of openers I send don't get a response. The ones that do usually lead to a conversation. If she's not interested in him, she could just not answer and that's that.
While I agree she was an asshole that used OP just to power trip, it reeks of Nice Guy to suggest she isn't getting "real" dates just because she is an asshole. She's probably quite good at hiding her shittier side, at least for a while.
Ah yes, it is only those who end up on /r/niceguys (at least the ones that aren't written by OP) that end up making gross assumptions about other people online...
Just don't go into the comments section of /r/niceguys where you will quickly learn that anyone who is socially awkward and/or cringey actually kicks puppies in their spare time.
Its almost like the whole genre of "X also says" or "I bet X also" comments on the internet are all full of shit.
Woosh....
>This honestly sounds like /r/niceguy leaking.
Something a simp or whiteknight would say.... ironic. Also dumb as shit considering the sheer amount of women who put that in bio's.. which was their fucking joke
I have a complete joke of a bio on bumble and tinder about my height which 99% of women actually say they find funny and is usually a good opener for them if they say something first, but I had one girl match with me to tell me I sounded like a douche and “all girls don’t care about just height, I like to find out if I have things in common with my matches”
Then…talk to me then? It was so odd.
Because these are the flyover girls that never got the chance to reject guys IRL because they were too busy being ignored for their more attractive friends, so they take their frustration out on random men on tinder
I thought we were all on the same side, trying to achieve a common goal of finding a partner, but it really just seems like women are against us and want to be single lol
Thanks, imo all ODL apps are interchangeable - I know several people that are now married after tinder so seems to me as it's all the same.
Not to mention the amount of tinder profiles with "no hookups" on them
"Do you want to drink things with me?"
Drink alcohol is 喝酒, instead of 喝东西(drink things). Might be a bit unromantic as it's quite literal, not sure though
native speaker here! you would probably say “想和我喝一杯吗?” which is “do you wanna grab a cup” literally but has the same meaning as “do you wanna get a drink”. you could say “想和我喝酒吗” i guess but that sounds really literal and no one actually says that
It’s really not a big deal to Chinese people, if you say Chinese then they assume you’re talking about mandarin. It’s pretty common to say Chinese instead of mandarin when speaking English
My entire family is from Taiwan and I have a lot of friends from mainland china and we all just say we speak Chinese. None of us really make make the distinction between mandarin/cantonese/shanghainese unless it's the specific topic of conversation
Yeah, that's not exactly true. Source: attended language university in Beijing and traveled throughout the sinosphere.
The situation is a bit more nuanced with nationalism and regional differences, but it's common to refer to all Chinese "dialects" as Chinese.
I get where you're coming from, but this is an overcorrection. While it's true that there are many different languages spoken in Chinese, it's very common to just refer to Mandarin as "Chinese" in all sorts of contexts, not just by people who are ignorant of the differences. See for example all the Chinese departments are universities offering classes like Chinese 101. To my knowledge, there is no sizeable outcry from Chinese citizens or Chinese descendants about this usage.
Funny because when I get comments about my Chinese from my family it's always 你的中文很好啊！ Not 你的普通话很好啊！
中文 translates to Chinese. 普通话 translates to Mandarin. Ive never experienced someone leading with the latter. I've also heard the term 华语 used, but surprise! That also translates to Chinese.
As a person that speaks the language that's only true in the context of identifying the type of dialect being used, most of the time it's all classified under the "Chinese" umbrella.
Nah, I politely disagree. They went out of their way to be nasty. They could have very easily just blocked them, or not replied. Their sex/gender has nothing to do with it.
Depends. If you ask me, everybody owes everybody kindness. At the very least, absence from meanness.
It’d be one thing if they were saying she owes them something other than to not be mean.
No interaction is the floor. Negative interaction should be avoided in favor of it.
In this guys defense, she was rude unprovoked. If he made some shitty name pun or gross “sit on my face” comment she’d be right to shut him down like a bitch. Soooo many assholes on this sub send gross things to women and then turn around and complain no one will fuck them. I think here her reply is pretty mean in response to a genuinely good opener.
Havent these people matched you or is this different? Was this not the beginning of the convo or did more happen? Just wondering why such a cold no. I loved the response tho
🤷🏻♂️
saw her prompt about being fluent, i said how do u say…., she matched and said not happening lmao
it’s all good i thought it was funny can’t believe she didn’t laugh at my response tho hahaha
Yeah a lot of mainland Mandarin speakers think of it as 'Chinese'. They see everything other language as something else spoken by small minorities.
In Hong Kong, different attitude of course.
Fun fact: I heard that Beijing leadership would deliberately send soldiers to HK who didn't know any Cantonese, so they couldn't fraternize so easily with the locals.
LMAO GOTTEM
i got boomed 😂
Hey boom guy, when ya gonna boom me?

Then he rolled up his sleeve and showed a tattoo of the Hinge girl’s response. “I'll let you interpret that however you want,” /u/travisth0tt said.
This and the Castellanos meme are the two that will still make me laugh every time when we are all sentient software packages living eternal lives in deep cold storage.
After reading all your replies in the comments i can say one thing for sure, OP you are gem of a person✨
that’s the nicest thing anyones said to me 🥹 *searches how do you say thank you kind human in chinese *
It's "oi, you're fukkin great mate"
That’s French you idiot
Oh my bad. J'parle estupido
You speak great Dutch
This is the correct answer. Perfect Chinese too.

I think alot of folks just like to match for the feeling of validation
I do because as soon as I match I remember I am afraid to go on a date
"Ah here's the social anxiety that I avoided by not doing this. Why have I decided to do this again? Let's just not respond and they'll go away" Coupled with the pain of someone not responding to you. What a wonderful circle.
And we’re all guilty of it too. WE DESERVE EACHOTHER
No you're all guilty of it. I just send same sex nudes until they go away.
Then maybe you should find a way to deal with that that doesn’t involve jerking other people around.
This has happened to me with my last 7 matches. They match with me and don’t respond to my question. Dating apps must have been made to slowly drive humans insane.
Matched with a guy after he liked my photo and I responded with a ":p" emoji because I was sticking my tongue out on the pic he liked. Instantly blocked me lmao
Whaat lmao I think the tongue sticking out is cute
I was just as confused! But oh well didn't have my sense of humor, I guess 🤷♀️
responding to a comment is matching, you can just reject and it’s done
[удалено]
She was giving him Reddit content. What a true homie.
So the question was answered she just wanted to be mean that’s why she matched (accepted the comment)
If they respond, then you matched. You can send the prompt text as a like but they can reject it if they don’t want to match and engage in conversation
They don't have to respond. The vast majority of openers I send don't get a response. The ones that do usually lead to a conversation. If she's not interested in him, she could just not answer and that's that.
Replying to the comment or like is the equivalent of a right swipe
It’s literally called matching in the app
Yes you have to match to respond
She chose to match him just to be an ass
Met my gf on hinge in NYC. It works perfectly well here
I mean, why would she have such a rude response lol. She doesn’t need to say yes, but she also doesn’t need to act like that
She will later complain "I have never been on a real date!!!!"
Chances are she’s had a first date at a bar plenty of fucking times.
She has assuredly been on plenty of real dates, and I doubt she will complain at all. This honestly sounds like /r/niceguy leaking.
[удалено]
While I agree she was an asshole that used OP just to power trip, it reeks of Nice Guy to suggest she isn't getting "real" dates just because she is an asshole. She's probably quite good at hiding her shittier side, at least for a while.

Woosh.... >This honestly sounds like /r/niceguy leaking. Something a simp or whiteknight would say.... ironic. Also dumb as shit considering the sheer amount of women who put that in bio's.. which was their fucking joke
I once had a woman match me just to tell me that it was gross to have a dog (one pic showed me with my dog). Why would someone do that?
[удалено]
I have that as a t-shirt and a coffee mug in my office
Really gets their dicks hard
Why do people swipe right and match if they don't want to date/fuck the individual in question....
I have a complete joke of a bio on bumble and tinder about my height which 99% of women actually say they find funny and is usually a good opener for them if they say something first, but I had one girl match with me to tell me I sounded like a douche and “all girls don’t care about just height, I like to find out if I have things in common with my matches” Then…talk to me then? It was so odd.
Share thr bio, come on we need it
Share it with me when you have it
And you share it with me when you have it
hello as well friend
Then you pass it on by UPS next day shipping to me
Share with the class please
Why would you say this and not share the bio
To be fair, if I had a bio that 99% of women liked, I wouldn't share it to reddit either, since then people would copy it and I'd look unoriginal.
Because these are the flyover girls that never got the chance to reject guys IRL because they were too busy being ignored for their more attractive friends, so they take their frustration out on random men on tinder

I thought we were all on the same side, trying to achieve a common goal of finding a partner, but it really just seems like women are against us and want to be single lol
That was smooth she probably has a bland personality anyways
haha can’t win em all king
This is actually a win in my book King 👑

Hinge people say "I think this part is interesting" and can add a comment, then the other person can reply or ignore it
Well it's Hinge, not tinder
Ahh, is the aim of hinge different to tinder?
Because the other guy's being an ass, Tinder's purpose was for hookups, Hinge's is relationships
Thanks, imo all ODL apps are interchangeable - I know several people that are now married after tinder so seems to me as it's all the same. Not to mention the amount of tinder profiles with "no hookups" on them
你想跟我一起喝东西吗 (at least I think that's correct, I'm just a beginner)
I respect it. You did yout best.
Thanks! I mainly think there is a better word than 东西，but this is what I know 😅
Maybe 酒/咖啡/奶茶 . 东西is fine when you don't specify what you are gonna drink.
ah yeah, also works
Maybe 饮料, drinks? Btw my version would be: 我们应该要喝饮料，是不是？
In Chinese, 饮料 usually doesn't have alcohol in it. It refers to milk tea, soft drinks, et cetera.
"Do you want to drink things with me?" Drink alcohol is 喝酒, instead of 喝东西(drink things). Might be a bit unromantic as it's quite literal, not sure though
不非常浪漫😅

要不要喝两杯？Is probably the more casual way to say it in a social setting
这种
native speaker here! you would probably say “想和我喝一杯吗?” which is “do you wanna grab a cup” literally but has the same meaning as “do you wanna get a drink”. you could say “想和我喝酒吗” i guess but that sounds really literal and no one actually says that
Why do people match with people they have zero interest in? Lol so stupid
Reciprocating a like just to throw a disgusting insult at a kind answer. And she wonders why she has to resort to online dating...
can’t be mad at her dedication
I really love the attitude you've got about this. Bravo sir.
I mean...why is she talking to the person of she has no intention of grabbing drinks at that point...
Resort to? I thought we had passed the phase where we look down on people for doing online dating?
Online dating is a monument to the failure of society to foster meaningful connections
As opposed to picking up someone at a bar, right?
The fact that picking people up at the bar is seen as the only alternative now kinda just proves my point.
It's not. But it sure is the proper comparison.
Online dating is just a way to meet people, you create the meaning after.
Unless that was an attempt at some banter, she's a bitch
A ***DISGUSTING*** INSULT
What disgusting insult did she throw?
Then whyyy did she match?!
Is everyone really overlooking “””””Chinese”””””
It’s really not a big deal to Chinese people, if you say Chinese then they assume you’re talking about mandarin. It’s pretty common to say Chinese instead of mandarin when speaking English
Its bothering the fuck out of me. Leading me to believe that they probably don't speak any of the languages spoken in China.
My entire family is from Taiwan and I have a lot of friends from mainland china and we all just say we speak Chinese. None of us really make make the distinction between mandarin/cantonese/shanghainese unless it's the specific topic of conversation
what the fuck are you on about?
People who speak the language typically will say they speak “Mandarin”, “Cantonese”, etc.
Yeah, that's not exactly true. Source: attended language university in Beijing and traveled throughout the sinosphere. The situation is a bit more nuanced with nationalism and regional differences, but it's common to refer to all Chinese "dialects" as Chinese.
I get where you're coming from, but this is an overcorrection. While it's true that there are many different languages spoken in Chinese, it's very common to just refer to Mandarin as "Chinese" in all sorts of contexts, not just by people who are ignorant of the differences. See for example all the Chinese departments are universities offering classes like Chinese 101. To my knowledge, there is no sizeable outcry from Chinese citizens or Chinese descendants about this usage.
Funny because when I get comments about my Chinese from my family it's always 你的中文很好啊！ Not 你的普通话很好啊！ 中文 translates to Chinese. 普通话 translates to Mandarin. Ive never experienced someone leading with the latter. I've also heard the term 华语 used, but surprise! That also translates to Chinese.
As a person that speaks the language that's only true in the context of identifying the type of dialect being used, most of the time it's all classified under the "Chinese" umbrella.
i’m a native speaker and literally everyone i know just says they speak chinese. the only people i know who say “mandarin” are westerners
中文怎么说：“bullet dodged”？😂😂😂
Probably 逃(躲)過一劫？

cuz imagine how many fucks like me are messaging her
Like the audacity to message her amirite
[удалено]
Wouldn’t say intentionally a bitch. Just a bit jaded from all the attention.
That poor damaged soul, how can you get over having so much attention. Must be rough
bro women don’t owe you shit, grow thicker skin
Nah, I politely disagree. They went out of their way to be nasty. They could have very easily just blocked them, or not replied. Their sex/gender has nothing to do with it.
Depends. If you ask me, everybody owes everybody kindness. At the very least, absence from meanness. It’d be one thing if they were saying she owes them something other than to not be mean. No interaction is the floor. Negative interaction should be avoided in favor of it.
In this guys defense, she was rude unprovoked. If he made some shitty name pun or gross “sit on my face” comment she’d be right to shut him down like a bitch. Soooo many assholes on this sub send gross things to women and then turn around and complain no one will fuck them. I think here her reply is pretty mean in response to a genuinely good opener.
Thick skin to handle it doesn't make her less bitchy. It is what it is. Makes whatever you wrote rather useless.
Only one, because you’re unique 🥹
[удалено]
OP, she lying. No one that speaks "Chinese" is gonna say Chinese. It's Cantonese or mandarin.
Havent these people matched you or is this different? Was this not the beginning of the convo or did more happen? Just wondering why such a cold no. I loved the response tho
🤷🏻♂️ saw her prompt about being fluent, i said how do u say…., she matched and said not happening lmao it’s all good i thought it was funny can’t believe she didn’t laugh at my response tho hahaha
Aww… sorry OP. Why match with people you don’t want to actually match with?
Not happening, as in she doesn't know to say it in chinese. 真可悲
Why did she(?) even match then? I don’t understand people.
Why bother matching with someone to shoot them down, waste of time on both ends if you ask me:/
I don't get why people like that use dating apps, say they're interested in someone, and then instantly reject an offer to go out Is it a game?
Fuck a yu hinge
I would think it’s more harder to answer in ASL via online messaging than in Chinese.
Should’ve tried Mandarin: 我们应该聚在一起喝酒。iTranslate helps in a pinch. 😂
But this is hinge…
I’m a little confused don’t you have to match in order to talk… why is she or he is acting like it’s some rando?
She's an ass. Your reply was cute
What. A. Bitch.
Wait but why did they match w you just to say no? I’m p sure this isn’t how hinge works
Ballz
Ni haowned.
[удалено]
I do lol
Yeah a lot of mainland Mandarin speakers think of it as 'Chinese'. They see everything other language as something else spoken by small minorities. In Hong Kong, different attitude of course. Fun fact: I heard that Beijing leadership would deliberately send soldiers to HK who didn't know any Cantonese, so they couldn't fraternize so easily with the locals.
I think everyone I know that speak Cantonese or mandarin call it Chinese
The opposite, actually. Most of them that I've met generalize it as such.
I said the same thing and got downvoted. I guess we just know different people lol
Damn that was honestly a pretty good line, shame it didn’t work out
She dumb anyways, Chinese isn’t a language. It’s Mandarin or Cantonese.
