Question
Hello,

What are some greeting that are typically used when answering the telephone in a Chinese household?

I'm especially interested in how the characters would look written.

Thank you!

Answer
Hi sorry for this late of answering
I was out of town

Usually, we only say "NiHow"(which means how are you)at the begining of converstation. After then we use very few greetings in the phone. Maybe "BaoZhong"(take care)at the end.Or "ZaiJian" as good bye.

Tell me if that's what you asked of....
