Chinese Internet slang

Hey kiddo, do you know that people in China have their own special words and phrases that they use on the internet? Yes, it's called Chinese internet slang!

Think of it as a secret code that only people who use the internet a lot understand. It's kinda like when you and your friends have your own special way of talking, like saying "lit" when something is cool or "bruh" when something is weird.

One Chinese internet slang word you might have heard of is "baibaihe." Can you say that? It means "white day lily" and is used to describe someone who is innocent or naive.

Another popular phrase is "wocao," which is like saying the F-word in English! But it's not a nice word, so we shouldn't use it.

Chinese internet slang is always changing, so it's important to keep up with the latest words and phrases. It's a fun way for people to connect and express themselves online. Just like how we use emojis to show our emotions, they use different words and phrases to express themselves too!
