문화적 배경

The concept of 'Shun' (顺) is deeply rooted in Chinese philosophy, implying following the natural order. It became popular because it reflects the agrarian desire for predictable weather and harvests. Today, it's the most common way to wish someone success in their career or travels.

💡

The 'Everything' Rule

If you don't know what specific word to use, just say `一切顺利` (yīqiè shùnlì). It covers health, wealth, and happiness in one go!

⚠️

Not for People

Never call a person `顺利`. If you want to say someone is successful, use `成功` (chénggōng) instead.

What It Means

顺利 (shùnlì) is your go-to word for 'smooth sailing.' Think of a river flowing without any rocks in the way. That is the vibe here. It means a process or event happened successfully and easily. You use it when there were no big dramas or delays.

How To Use It

You can use it as an adjective or an adverb. If you want to say an interview went well, say 面试很顺利. If you want to describe how you finished a task, say 顺利完成了. It often pairs with the word (de) when acting as an adverb. It is very flexible and fits into almost any sentence structure.

When To Use It

Use it after a big event like a flight, a business meeting, or an exam. It is perfect for checking in on friends. 'Did your move go okay?' becomes 搬家顺利吗?. It is also a standard way to wish someone luck. You will hear 祝你一切顺利 (Wish you everything goes smoothly) constantly in China. It is the ultimate polite closer for emails and texts.

When NOT To Use It

Don't use it for people's personalities. You can't be a 'smooth person' using 顺利. Also, avoid it for physical surfaces. If a table is smooth to the touch, use 光滑 (guānghuá) instead. 顺利 is strictly for events, processes, and journeys. Using it for a silk shirt will get you some funny looks!

Cultural Background

In Chinese culture, 'smoothness' is highly valued. It represents harmony and a lack of conflict. The character (shùn) is actually part of a famous saying 六六大顺 (liù liù dà shùn). This is why the number 6 is considered lucky! People love the idea of life flowing like water. Wishing someone 顺利 is more than just 'good luck.' It is wishing them a path free of obstacles.

Common Variations

You will often see 一切顺利 (yīqiè shùnlì) which means 'everything is going well.' Another common one is 工作顺利 (gōngzuò shùnlì), a standard blessing for colleagues. If something was *extremely* smooth, you might hear 非常顺利. It is a simple word, but it carries a lot of positive weight in daily conversation.

사용 참고사항

It is a neutral-to-formal word that is safe to use with anyone. Just remember it describes the 'how' of an action or the 'state' of an event.

The Power of 6

Because `顺利` starts with `顺`, and 6 is associated with `顺`, Chinese people often send red envelopes with 666 yuan to wish someone a smooth life!

10 질문

Mostly, but it emphasizes the *process* being easy. 成功 (chénggōng) focuses on the final result, while 顺利 means there were no problems along the way.

Not exactly slang, but people often use (shùn) alone in casual speech, like 挺顺的 (It's going pretty smooth).
