感谢您的收听
gǎnxiè nín de shōutīng
The English phrase 'thanks for listening' is translated into Chinese as 感谢您的收听 (gǎnxiè nín de shōutīng).
This phrase is most commonly used in the context of broadcasting, such as radio programs, podcasts or recorded audio messages.
What does it mean word for word?
The phrase is composed of 感谢 (thanks/to thank), 您的 (your – polite) and 收听 (listening/to listen to a broadcast).
Which one should you use?
Replacing 您的 with 你的 shifts the phrase from a formal tone to an informal or neutral tone.
Is there a formal and an informal way to say it?
The use of 您的 makes 感谢您的收听 formal and polite, which is suitable for a radio host, a presenter or a formal speech.
How do you pronounce it?
gǎnxiè nín de shōutīng
Did you know?
- The character 您 is a specialized honorific form of 你. It is visually distinguished by the addition of the 'heart' radical 心 at the bottom, literally placing the heart under the person.
- The character 听 in 收听 is a polyphone, meaning it has two different pronunciations depending on whether it means 'to listen' or 'to obey'.
- Because 收听 implies a one-way transmission, using this phrase in a face-to-face conversation would make you sound like a radio announcer rather than a person.
