去死吧
qù sǐ ba
The English phrase "go die" is translated into Chinese as 去死吧 (qù sǐ ba).
去死吧 is a harsh expression used as an insult to express extreme anger. It is a way to tell someone that you hate them, that you want them to get lost or that you want them to disappear.
What does it mean word for word?
The phrase is composed of 去 (go), 死 (die) and 吧 (a particle used to indicate a suggestion or command).
How does it change in a sentence?
You can also say 去死, but removing the particle 吧 makes the command more abrupt and even more aggressive.
How do you pronounce it?

- In Chinese internet culture, the number '4' is often associated with the sound of 死 (die), leading to its use as a way to bypass text filters.
- In certain Chinese dialects or slang, the phrase can be used between very close friends as a hyperbolic, playful way to react to a joke.
- The character 死 (die) is also used as an intensifier in many adjectives, such as in 饿死了 (hungry to death), to express an extreme state.
