What are common situations for informal Chinese language use
Common situations for informal Chinese language use typically occur in everyday communication among family, friends, and close acquaintances. Informal Chinese is used in casual conversations, social interactions, and sometimes in relaxed classroom settings where a casual tone facilitates comfort and ease in expression. It often appears in online chats, social media, and among younger people in less formal contexts. Informal language includes colloquial words, slang, and sometimes code-mixing with English, especially among learners. It contrasts with formal Chinese used in official, academic, or business environments, which adheres strictly to grammar and formal vocabulary. Informal Chinese helps build personal relationships and express emotions, humor, and local identity in everyday social life. 4, 9, 11
