How do you say Good Morning in Chinese?

A quick way to say โ€œgood morningโ€ is zวŽo (ๆ—ฉ), which literally means โ€œearly.โ€

A fuller expression is zวŽoshang hวŽo (ๆ—ฉไธŠๅฅฝ), which literally translates to โ€œgood morning.โ€ ZวŽoshang (ๆ—ฉไธŠ) means โ€œmorning,โ€ while hวŽo (ๅฅฝ) means โ€œgood.โ€

You can also say ย ๆ—ฉๅฎ‰ (zวŽo ฤn). Theย ๅฎ‰ means peaceful, so you are essentially wishing that the other person has a peaceful morning.

In China (at least in Beijing, where I live),ย ๆ—ฉ (zวŽo) by itself is probably most common, followed byย ๆ—ฉๅฎ‰ (zวŽo ฤn). It is more rare that people will sayย ๆ—ฉไธŠๅฅฝ (zวŽoshang hวŽo),ย but all three are correct. If you are addressing someone, you usually say their name or title first. For example, ่€ๅธˆๆ—ฉ (lวŽoshฤซ zวŽo), which means teacher (่€ๅธˆ (lวŽoshฤซ)) good morning.
