Hoe zeg je 'spoedig beterschap' in het Chinees?

Having someone close to you fall ill isn’t fun. But maybe they’ll feel a bit better when you wish them to get better soon. So for this we’ll explain to you how to say and use ‘Get well soon’ in the Mandarin Chinese language.

Get well soon in Chinese

This one is just like in English:

• 祝你早日康复
• Zhù nǐ zǎorì kāngfù
• (Wish) you get well soon

The words of this are:

• 祝 zhù (Wish or express good wishes)
• 你 nǐ (You)
• 早日 zǎorì (early, soon)
• 康复 kāngfù (restored to health)

You can replace 你nǐ with 你的爸爸Nǐ de bàba (Your dad) or anything, it then becomes:

• 祝你的爸爸早日康复
• Zhù nǐ de bàba zǎorì kāngfù
• Wish your dad a speedy recovery

What else to say?

If someone just has a headache or feels a bit tired, or not feeling super fit:

• 你应该多休息
• Nǐ yīnggāi dōu xiūxí
• You should rest

Or more colloquial Chinese:

• 你好好休息吧
• Nǐ hǎohǎo xiūxi ba
• Have a good rest

And:

• 多保重
• Duō bǎozhòng
• Take care

And:

• 小心别又着凉了
• Xiǎoxīn bié yòu zháoliángle
• Be careful not to catch a cold again

And of course:

• 多喝热水
• Duō hē rè shuǐ
• Drink more hot water

We don’t want to join the debate on warm water’s effectiveness, we just want to give linguistic advice. So we hope now you know how to say ‘Get well soon’ in the Mandarin Chinese language!
