A couple popular English phrases you (maybe) didn’t know are actually Chinese
<p>“Long time no see” comes from the Chinese phrase, “好久不見” (hǎo jiǔ bù jiàn) which literally means 好 (good or very) 久 (long, as in length of time) 不 (no) 見 (see). So you get: For a good long time, we haven’t seen each other.</p>
<p><strong>Or, to say it more succinctly: Long time, no see.</strong></p>
<p>This phrase first started evolving into the lingua franca for English speakers in the 19th/20th century, when Chinese immigrants created a kind of Pidgin English and for some reason, English speakers latched on to this particular nugget and decided to run with it.</p>
