This is a Mandarin Chinese phrase typically used in greeting. The term literally means "you good" ('ni' means 'you' and hao' means 'good'), but is used as a "hello" or "hi".

If a 'ma' is added to the end of the phrase, its meaning is changed to something like "Are you well?" This is also a phrase used in greeting others, as it's polite.
"Ni hao ma?"
What I like about speaking in foreign languages is that you can say literally anything, and most people won't know what in heck it means.

Yong Hao, clever in calculations, your go to guy for math and science. Weak and timid at first but opens up to people sooner or later. Shy with big crowds and tries hard to socialise with people.More of a arts and culture person, not a strong sports player. May have small disputes with parents at times but overall obedient and filial to parents. Gentle and respectful. Friends tend make fun of him but he ignores them, following his own belief. Lazy in doing physical work and stubborn at times but nonetheless a great friend to have and hang out with. Lowkey funny and cute. Could be working in the engineering industry in the future. Have big ambitious dreams like becoming an astronaut. Yong Hao might be wrong or at fault at times but never give up on him.

NOTE: Never ever make use of Yong Hao, you will regret it, he could be the one who plays a big part in the society in the future.
*Girls can try dating a Yong Hao.
"Psssss...Who is that cute guy over there? That is Yong Hao"

Hello in Chinese. Most commonly used by non-Chinese people to show off the only chinese phrase they know to a Chinese they just met, who can speak fluent English ironically.
"Hey I have learnt some Chinese from another Chinese friend...ni hao."
"Oh, wow. That's great. I wish I know how to say hello in your language."
