How to Say ‘You're welcome’ in Traditional Chinese
不客氣
bù kè qì
[bù kèqì]
💬 Usage Tip: 客氣 means "overly polite" or "standing on ceremony," so 不客氣 literally means "don't be so polite." In this phrase, 不 keeps its normal reading (bù) because the next sound, (kè), is a falling tone... actually it changes: it's said (bú kè qì).
