Lesson Vocabulary & Phrases
活动
huó dòng
Activity; event
很热闹
hěn rè nào
Very lively; bustling
💬 [很] before an adjective often just makes the sentence sound complete, not extra strong. So [很热闹] here is often just "was lively," like [他很忙] = "he's busy."
See breakdown →活动很热闹。
huó dòng hěn rè nào
The event was lively.
💬 In Chinese, an adjective can be the whole "is ..." part of the sentence, so you say [活动很热闹] without [是]. You can reuse the pattern with other adjectives: [活动很有意思] or [活动很成功]
See breakdown →很高兴
hěn gāo xìng
Very happy; pleased
💬 [很高兴] is a very common fixed way to say "glad" or "pleased," especially in polite conversation. You can swap the next part: [很高兴认识你] / [很高兴见到你] / [很高兴收到你的消息]
See breakdown →认识你
rèn shí nǐ
To meet you; to know you
很高兴认识你。
hěn gāo xìng rèn shí nǐ
Nice to meet you.
🇨🇳 [很高兴认识你。] is standard and polite when meeting someone, but after a networking event people also often use it in follow-up messages even if you already met in person. It reads as warm and professional, not strange.
See breakdown →聊得
liáo dé
Chat; talk in a way that...
💬 [得] after a verb links it to the result or degree, like [聊得很投缘] or [做得很好]. It's a useful pattern: verb + [得] + comment about how it went.
See breakdown →很投缘
hěn tóu yuán
To get along well; click
聊得很投缘。
