## What is How to Say Chinese?

If you only want to know how to say something in Chinese, AI is enough.
If you want to actually make it yours — you need How to Say.

AI hands you one answer and you have forgotten it by the next sentence. How to Say turns every translation into something you really learn and keep.

▸ Say what you mean, in natural Chinese
Type it in your own language and get Chinese that sounds like a person, not a textbook — in four registers at once: Standard, Casual, Formal and Concise. Pick the one that fits the moment.

▸ See exactly which word is which
Your sentence and the Chinese line up word by word, color-matched, so nothing is a black box. Tap any Chinese word for its pinyin, part of speech, meaning and an example sentence. The pinyin applies real tone sandhi — the 不 / 一 and third-tone rules — so you read it the way it is actually said. Simplified or Traditional, one tap.

▸ Understand the grammar, not just the sentence
One tap explains the patterns inside your own sentence: structure, meaning, examples, all in your language. The built-in grammar library covers measure words, 了 / 过 / 着, 把 and 被 sentences, 是…的, 的 / 地 / 得, complements, comparison, questions, modal verbs, word order, reduplication, tone sandhi and more.

▸ Save it, hear it, drill it until it sticks
Add any word to your wordbook and review it with multiple-choice and fill-in-the-blank quizzes, with mastery tracked as you go. Listen with built-in speech and slow it down for shadowing — at the slowest setting, one character at a time. Every translation is kept in your history, with favorites for the lines you want back.

Translate → see it → understand it → remember it. That loop is the part AI never gives you.

【Who it's for】
· Anyone who wants to speak natural Chinese, not just look up a translation
· Beginners who need pinyin, tones and characters to finally click
· Travelers, students and professionals who have to get it right
· Anyone who learns best from the words they actually want to say

How to Say is free to use with 5 translations a day. An optional subscription (monthly or yearly) lifts the daily limit and unlocks word practice and grammar practice.

The app is available in English, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, Vietnamese, Thai and Indonesian.
