How to Say ‘We're both quite well.’ in Simplified Chinese
我们都挺好的。
wǒ men dōu tǐng hǎo de
[waw-men doe teeng haow duh]
💬 Usage Tip: [挺好的] means "pretty good," with [挺] softening it into a natural conversational reply. Chinese often uses adjectives directly as the whole predicate, so no [是] is needed here.
