That means, "Happy Chinese New Year", here in Shanghai, China.

And this time it's the year of the pig...

So to all you Chinese forum members,

GONG CHI FA CHAI.

That's Cantonese, the REAL way is Xin Zhong Guo Nian (did I mix up the words there...)

"gong xi fa cai" or 恭喜发财 means hope (you) will get rich, commonly said with "xin nian kuai le" - happy new year.
The other pronunciation is in Cantonese. Chinese is not just one language phonetically, but ten major regional dialects.
Hope Buddha blesses you in the new year! (By the way, people born on the year of the Snake watch out, it's a bad luck year!)

You've been saying it in Cantonese - nothing wrong with that.

You're fine man. Spark doesn't know what the hell he's talking about. Gong chi fa chai is Mandarin, which is what they speak where you are in Shanghai. Cantonese is Gong hei fat choi.

It funny that he's correcting you and then says "did I mix up the words there..."
