It’s 初二 chū èr today – second day of the Lunar New Year!

So the holidays continue, with a word from @savvamarina_sova

According to the tradition, today is the day to visit relatives on the wife’s side (初二回娘家 chū èr huí niángjiā).

But even if it’s not the case, it’s still a good time to visit 亲友 qīnyǒu 👩‍👩‍👧‍👦

亲友 qīnyǒu • relatives and friends | Learn Chinese with YourMandarin

亲 qīn – relatives
友 yǒu – friends

亲友 qīnyǒu – relatives and friends

And as @savvamarina_sova has shared, this year she heard this word from colleagues in various contexts:

去看亲友 qù kàn qīnyǒu – go visit friends and relatives

给亲友送礼物 gěi qīnyǒu sòng lǔwù – give presents to friends and relatives

给亲友发红包 gěi qīnyǒu fā hóngbāo – to send hongbaos to friends and relatives (#ym红包)

⭐⭐⭐

How would you ask “What presents did you give this year to friends and relatives?”
