谢谢收听
xièxie shōutīng
In Chinese, "thank you for listening" is said as 谢谢收听 (xièxie shōutīng).
谢谢收听 is a phrase specifically used at the end of audio-based media, such as a radio program, podcast or voice message, to thank an audience for tuning in. It is not used to thank someone for listening to you during a face-to-face conversation.
What does it mean word for word?
The phrase is composed of 谢谢 (thank you) and 收听 (to listen to or to tune in to a broadcast).
Which one should you use?
While 谢谢收听 is the standard way to thank listeners of a broadcast, 谢谢聆听 is a more formal version used when thanking an audience for listening to a speech or a performance. In informal or personal settings, you might use 谢谢你耐心听我说话 (thank you for patiently listening to me) or the more colloquial 多谢你听我啰嗦 (thanks for listening to my rambling).
How does it change in a sentence?
To make the phrase sound more professional and respectful, you can change 谢谢 to 感谢 (to thank/to be grateful) and include 您 (the polite form of 'you'). This results in 感谢您的收听.
How do you pronounce it?
xièxie shōutīng
Did you know?
- The word 收 in 收听 means 'to receive', making the phrase literally 'thank you for receiving the sound', which reflects the historical way radio signals were 'received'.
- The more formal version 谢谢聆听 uses a character 聆 which implies a level of deep, respectful attention usually reserved for high-ranking officials or profound artistic performances.
- The colloquial way to thank someone for listening to your venting is 多谢你听我啰嗦, where 啰嗦 literally means 'wordy' or 'nagging', turning the thanks into a self-deprecating joke.
