Goats Have No Time for Teeth

Post by: Gerarda on 19 Feb 2015

The greatest migration in the world is taking place now for Chinese New Year. Millions more will celebrate in countries that circle the globe to celebrate the Year of the Goat (Ram).

As it is customary for Chinese people to greet each other with good wishes when they meet during this time, I have provided a list of greetings and proverbs I found in the International Business Times UK paper you can use on your friends and at Chinese restaurants you might frequent.

Have a healthy, prosperous Year of the Goat! 

Chinese greetings

  • Happy Chinese New Year! Wishing you prosperity on the Year of the Ram.
  • I wish you all the luck, health, and fortune and all those you love! Happy Chinese New Year.
