Jun 18, 2013 at 3:15 comment added congusbongus Be aware that search results would have a bias towards written forms of the language, as opposed to the spoken form.
Jan 21, 2013 at 11:52 comment added Mike Manilone I prefer "早安" because it sounds warmer (or just I heard too much "早上好" ?)
Jan 16, 2013 at 5:22 comment added Stumpy Joe Pete @JamesJiao I think the dialectical differences people are mentioning ("Southern" people) are intra-Mandarin differences.
Jan 16, 2013 at 5:00 comment added deutschZuid I think we are ignoring dialectal differences here. Are we talking about Mandarin or all dialects as a whole?
Jan 16, 2013 at 4:23 comment added John Siu Very interesting, it is almost like saying "Hello" vs "Hi" in the morning.
Jan 15, 2013 at 20:37 comment added NS.X. @BertR I know people in Southern China say 早安 but they fall into zh-CN not zh-TW, which might explain the numbers.
Jan 15, 2013 at 20:34 comment added NS.X. @Dan no. I am from Beijing and I can confirm 早上好 is commonly used by all social groups. 早安 (or 早) sounds Southern-ish to us.
Jan 15, 2013 at 19:14 comment added Dan This is interesting because in Taiwan I always hear 早安 but people I know from Beijing say 早上好. The people from Beijing happened to be highly educated, so I wonder if 早上好 tends to be a more upper class (for lack of a better term) way of saying it.
