  Greetings in Taiwanese ...  
Show textShow cached sourceOpen source URL
Therefore, in Taiwanese Mandarin we say "早安" ("zao an") instead of "早上好" ("zao shang hao") for "good morning," "午安" ("wu an") instead "中午好" ("zhung wu hao") for "good afternoon," and "晚安" (wan an) instead of "晚上好" (wan shang hao) for "good evening."

So, you may ask, what is the proper greeting for all situation in Taiwanese Mandarin, akin to "你好" in Chinese Mandarin? I am sorry that there is no such a word. But, on the other hand, fortunately, on this cosmopolitan insula, people are used to saying "hello" (pronounced as "HA-lo"), "hi," and "hey" for daily greeting. If you want to draw attention from someone you haven't met, "umm..." with a confusing smile is a good manner, just like "あの..." in Japan, or you may say straightforwardly "不好意思" ("bu hao yi si") for "excuse me," making you sound amazingly native!
