How to Say ‘Screw you!’ in Traditional Chinese

去你的!

qù nǐ de

[qù nǐ de]

💬 Usage Tip: 去你的 is a fixed insult, not a literal motion phrase about going somewhere. You'll also hear the same pattern with other insults dropped in after 去.

🇹🇼 In Taiwan: This is openly hostile and rude. In Taiwan it's the kind of thing used in fights, not casual teasing unless people are very close and clearly joking.
