--questions--

--text--

What is Chen Na saying to greet a group of people?

--answers--

你好 (nǐ hǎo)

--feedback--

This is a greeting to one person, but Chen Na is greeting more than one.


您们好 (nín men hǎo)

--feedback--

This form is not standard in Chinese.


你们好 (nǐ men hǎo)


大家好 (dà jiā hǎo)

--feedback--

This also means "Hello, everyone", but Chen Na uses a different phrase.

--explanation--

The question is asking what Chen Na is saying to greet a group of people.

你好 (nǐ hǎo) is a greeting to one person, while 您好 (nín hǎo) is a polite greeting to one person. 您们好 (nín men hǎo) is not standard in Chinese; 您 (nín) is polite singular, not usually pluralized.

The correct phrase for greeting a group is 你们好 (nǐ men hǎo), which is a common way to say "hello, everyone". 大家好 (dà jiā hǎo) is another way to greet a group, which you'll learn as you progress.
