Everything was going great until you said that “guang lin” was a formal/polite way of saying “coming”.
How formal? Would our co-workers/classmates laugh at us if we used it with them?
PS Benny, ni de fa yin fei chang qing chu!!

Ni hao Pasko!
It would be a bit weird when you say “guang lin” to your co-workers or classmates, :)

Hi,
Mandarin is mainly for the oral version. And Chinese includes writing reading and listening and speaking. While Taiwanese is almost same as Chinese, just with some different local sayings and traditional characters. In China, we only have simplified except for HongKong.
