How to Say ‘I hope it's all good things.’ in Traditional Chinese
希望都是好話。
xī wàng dōu shì hǎo huà
[shee-wang dōu shir how huà]
💬 Usage Tip: 都 (dōu) "all" goes before the verb and points back to what was already mentioned. Compare 我們都是學生 "we're all students".
🇹🇼 In Taiwan: This is a light, self-deprecating joke in reply to "they talk about you". Playful modesty like this goes over well with friends in Taiwan.
