How to say "honorific: I've long looked forward to meeting you." in Chinese

When To Use It

"honorific: I've long looked forward to meeting you." maps to 久仰 (jiǔ yǎng), a formal work phrase for communication situations.

Use it when you need to keep a conversation moving despite a language gap, unclear wording, or missing context.

Practice it first exactly as written, then swap in your own people, places, or objects so it becomes part of your active speaking repertoire.

Tone And Delivery

The register is formal, which means it is better for respectful, official, or carefully worded interactions than for playful small talk.

Because this is marked beginner, you should aim to recognize it instantly and reuse it with your own names, nouns, locations, or numbers.

A good practice target is the example sentence 久仰 (jiǔ yǎng). Once that feels natural, shorten your pause and try it at conversation speed.

Practice Ideas

This phrase becomes more useful when you learn it as part of a mini-sequence. After saying it, a natural next step could be 公务 (gōng wù).

A second nearby phrase to review is 官差 (guān chāi), which helps you stay in the same topic instead of translating from scratch again.

• Read the example “honorific: I've long looked forward to meeting you.” aloud, then replace one detail with your own information.
• Pair it with “Official business” next so your conversation does not stop after a single line.
• Match the phrase to your tone of voice: soft for polite requests, flatter and quicker for routine daily use.
• If you hear a slightly different version in the wild, compare the tone and context before treating it as interchangeable.
