How do you say speak Chinese in Chinese?

There are a few ways to say "speak Chinese" in Chinese, depending on the context and level of formality:

Formal:

* 说汉语 (shuō hànyǔ): This is the most common and neutral way to say "speak Chinese." It literally translates to "speak the Han language."

* 讲中文 (jiǎng zhōngwén): This means "speak Chinese (language)." It's also a common and formal way to say it.

Informal:

* 说中国话 (shuō zhōngguó huà): This literally means "speak Chinese (language)." It's a more informal and casual way to say it.

Other options:

* 会说汉语 (huì shuō hànyǔ): This means "can speak Chinese."

* 用汉语说 (yòng hànyǔ shuō): This means "speak using Chinese."

The best way to choose which phrase to use will depend on the specific situation. For example, you would likely use "说汉语" or "讲中文" in a formal setting, such as a job interview or a meeting. You might use "说中国话" in a casual conversation with friends.

It's also helpful to consider who you're speaking to. For example, if you're speaking to someone who is learning Chinese, you might use "说汉语" or "会说汉语" to make it clear that you are referring to speaking the language.
