How to Say ‘There's no need, no need’ in Simplified Chinese

不用不用

bù yòng bù yòng

[búyòng búyòng]

💬 Usage Tip: Saying a polite refusal twice, 不用不用 (bú yòng bú yòng), makes it sound warm and insistent rather than curt. You'll hear 谢谢谢谢 and 好好好 used the same way. Note that 不 becomes (bú) before the falling tone of 用.
