How to Say ‘Go to hell!’ in Traditional Chinese
去死吧！
qù sǐ ba
[qù sǐ ba]
💬 Usage Tip: Sentence-final 吧 can soften a suggestion, but in insults like 去死吧 it gives a forceful 'just go and...' feeling instead. Compare the same 吧 in a friendly sentence like 走吧 'let's go.'
🇹🇼 In Taiwan: This is extremely hostile if meant literally. Friends may say it jokingly, but outside that it can sound shocking and cruel.
