你好网络

Hello web · trad. 你好網絡

你好网络 is a phrase primarily used in the context of computer programming, particularly when creating a very first, basic web application. It's the web-specific equivalent of "Hello World" and is not used in everyday conversation.

When to use it

This is a technical term used in programming and web development. It has no conversational register. The most common general programming greeting is 你好世界 (Hello World).

How to pronounce it

Sounds like "nee-HOW WAHNG-loo-OH." The first 你好 is pronounced "ní hǎo" due to tone sandhi (two third tones together).

Other ways to say it

  • 你好世界nǐ hǎo shì jièhello world (general programming greeting)
  • 你好互联网nǐ hǎo hù lián wǎnghello internet (more explicit for the internet)
  • 你好网页nǐ hǎo wǎng yèhello webpage (focusing on a single page)

Pro tip: Remember that 你好网络 is a technical phrase, not a greeting you'd use to talk to a person or the internet itself. For general programming, 你好世界 is more common.
