What It Means
我很好 (wǒ hěn hǎo) is your go-to response for 'I am fine.' It is simple and direct. The word 很 (hěn) technically means 'very.' However, in Chinese, it often just acts as a bridge. It connects the subject 我 (I) to the adjective 好 (good). Without it, the sentence feels naked and incomplete. Think of it as the glue holding your mood together.
How To Use It
Using this phrase is like riding a bike with training wheels. It is safe and works every time. When someone asks 你好吗？ (How are you?), you reply with 我很好. You do not need to change the word order. You do not need to conjugate verbs. Just say it with a smile. It is the perfect 'autopilot' response for small talk.
When To Use It
You can use this in almost any positive situation. Use it when meeting a new neighbor. Use it when your boss asks how your weekend was. It is great for texting friends to show you are okay. It works well at a restaurant when a waiter checks on you. It is the ultimate polite social lubricant.
When NOT To Use It
Do not use this if you are actually having a terrible day. If you just dropped your phone in the toilet, 我很好 will sound sarcastic. Also, avoid using it with very close best friends. To them, it might sound a bit too formal or distant. They might think you are hiding something! In deep emotional moments, it can feel a bit shallow.
Cultural Background
In Chinese culture, maintaining 'mianzi' or 'face' is important. People often say 我很好 even if they are slightly stressed. It keeps the social harmony intact. It is less about a detailed medical report and more about being polite. Interestingly, the character 好 combines the symbols for 'woman' and 'child.' Historically, this pairing represented the ultimate 'good' or 'wellness.'
Common Variations
You can tweak this to fit your exact vibe. Want to sound more enthusiastic? Try 我非常好 (I am doing great!). Feeling just okay? Use 我还好 (I am alright). If you want to be humble, say 挺好的 (Quite good). Adding a 谢谢 (thanks) at the end makes you sound like a pro. It shows you appreciate the concern.
Notas de uso
This is a neutral-register phrase. It is safe for all levels of formality, but remember that omitting the 'hěn' makes the sentence grammatically incomplete in standard Mandarin.

The 'Face' Factor

Perguntas frequentes
10 perguntasNot always. In 我很好, it often just acts as a link between the subject and the adjective. If you really want to say 'Very,' you'd emphasize the word or use 非常好 (fēicháng hǎo).
It's a bit too short and can sound blunt. Using 很好 or 我很好 sounds much more natural and polite.
It's neutral. With very close friends, you might say 挺好的 (tǐng hǎo de) or 还行 (hái xíng) to sound more relaxed.
You can say 不太好 (bú tài hǎo), which means 'not too good.' It's a soft way to signal things aren't great.
Just add 你呢？ (nǐ ne) after your response. For example: 我很好，你呢？
Yes, it is very safe and professional. It shows you are in a good state of mind for work.
我还好 means 'I'm alright' or 'I'm okay.' It's slightly more modest and very common in casual speech.
Usually, you'd just say 很好吃 (hěn hǎo chī). 我很好 specifically refers to your personal well-being.
The most common mistake is saying 我是好 (wǒ shì hǎo). In Chinese, you don't use the verb 'to be' (shì) with adjectives.
While the phrase is standard everywhere, in Northern China, people might add an 'r' sound to words, but 我很好 usually stays the same.
