Now that we’ve discovered that only 大家 dàjiā can be used to address a group of people, let’s look at its polite form:
各位 gèwèi!
⭐️
各 gè – each, every
位 wèi – measure word for people (respectful form)
⭐️
各位 gèwèi – Dear everyone
⭐️
Use it as a polite way to address a group of people you know, in a formal setting:
🎓各位同学 gèwèi tóngxué – Dear classmates
👓各位老师 gèwèi lǎoshī – Dear teachers
🤝各位同事 gèwèi tóngshì – Dear colleagues
🤵🏻各位嘉宾 gèwèi jiābīn – Dear guests
In other words, when you find yourself on stage, making a speech or proposing a toast, use 各位 in your opening line🍷🎙
⭐️⭐️
You can even combine two phrases:
各位同学：大家好！
Gèwèi tóngxué: dàjiā hǎo!
Dear classmates, hello everyone
⭐️⭐️⭐️
How would you say “Dear teachers, good evening”?
