How greet an opening and end a presentation in Chinese Hello, I'd like to know how to start and finish a presentation in Chinese. I don't want to be too formal but I also don't want to be too casual, i.e. I don't want to just say 大家好. I want to greet the guests politely, show my appreciation for their presence and at the end of the presentation give my gratitude again and then a nice goodbye. I've found those for starting the presentation: 1. 诸位女士诸位先生... 2. 朱军 Are they okay? Could you help me translate those two sentences? OPENING:Good morning, I'm very happy to see you here today, my name is.. ENDING: I would like thank you all for your attention, have a nice day

Hello i am styding mandarin 2 years now and i have some suggestions for you 

say hello

您好 nín hâo nin is the formal YOU 

before nin hao you can add "sir" or "madamme" 

先生，您好 xiānsheng ,nín hâo = hello sir

小姐，您好 xiâojie , nín hâo = hello lady , madamme

You can also use the time expressions

早上好 zâoshang hâo goodmorning from 7-10

上午好 shàngwû hâo goodmorning from 10-12

中午好 zhōngwû hâo goodevening from 12-1:00

下午好 Xiàwû hâo  goodevening from 1:00-19:00

晚上好 wánshang hâo from 19:00-.......

to close a conversation you can just say 

再见 zài jiàn cu soon it is as formal as informal

oher expressions...

好久不见  hâo jiû bù jiàn long time to see you

可以..... Kê yî  could i........

我想.  ........ Wô xiâng..... I would like.....

不客气 / 没关系 búkèqī / méiguânxī as an answer to thank you ( you are welcome)

1. 诸位女士诸位先生...  means ladies and gentleman 

2. 朱军  em...i thought you typed wrong...it may 诸君[emoji]but it's too hard to use it in suitable situation

i suggest some of words for starting:

1.大家早上好，我很荣幸在这里能见到你们。(Hello everyone,good morning,i'm glad to see you here today)

2.女士们先生们，早上好，我叫。。。。欢迎你们来到这听我的演讲。(Ladies and gentleman,good morning,my name is...welcome to come to here today to listen me presentation)


Hope that help you~

In China. We always open a conversation by asking people what are you doing recently. And end up with "goodbye if you have time,please visit me "
