Hottest Chinese words, phrases of 2018

Annual Internet terms

Also, the National Language Resources Monitoring and Research Center released the "top ten Internet terms of 2018" including "skr" and "center position."

According to the report, the "top ten Internet terms of 2018" are based on the National Language Resources Monitoring database (Internet media section), which are extracted by intelligent information processing and manual filtering. The database contains a large number of annual language resources in different media forms such as network news and blog. Among them, the original file of the network comprises about 460,000 posts.

On December 15, leading Chinese linguistic magazine "Yao Wen Jiao Zi" also revealed its annual pick of words and phrases over the past year on social media, and many of “Chinese word and phrase in 2018” have already been included, such as 官宣 (guān xuān) which literally means “an official announcement,” 锦鲤 (jǐn lǐ) or “Koi fish,” and 佛系(fó xì) or “Buddha-like.” CGTN has already explained these words in the previous article.
