How to Say ‘Screw you’ in Simplified Chinese
去你的
qù nǐ de
[chyoo nee duh]
💬 Usage Tip: [去你的] literally starts with [go to your…], but the ending is left hanging on purpose, which makes it sound like a set insult rather than a full literal sentence. Chinese does this sometimes with rude phrases: the missing part is understood from context.
🇨🇳 In China: This is a rude dismissal, but usually a bit less explosive than a direct family-based insult. You may also hear it used half-jokingly between friends, with tone doing most of the work.
