精彩的比赛
jīngcǎi de bǐsài
The Chinese phrase for "good game" is 精彩的比赛 (jīngcǎi de bǐsài).
精彩的比赛 is used to comment on the quality of the performance or the excitement of the match itself, rather than as a polite sportsmanlike gesture like the English 'GG' (Good Game) used at the end of a match.
How do you pronounce it?
jīngcǎi de bǐsài
Did you know?
- To express the sportsmanlike 'good game' at the end of a match, Chinese speakers might instead say 辛苦了, which literally means 'you have worked hard'.
- In the word 比赛, the first character 比 originally referred to comparing two things side by side to see which was larger.
- If a game is 'good' because it was unexpectedly close and thrilling, a speaker might use the term 惊险, which carries a connotation of danger or risk.
