Did you know, "Long time no see" in English might be a direct translation of the Chinese:
好久不见
(hǎo jiǔ bú jiàn)
= “long time no see”
📚 Some say it came from Chinese.
Others say it started as pidgin English used by early non-native speakers.
Either way, it’s a reminder of how languages influence each other 🌏
