[...] communication which serves a social function, such as social pleasantries that don't seek or offer information of intrinsic value but can signal willingness to observe conventional local expectations for politeness.
Use this tag if your question concerns how to express something in Chinese in a socially acceptable way: congratulations, good wishes, how to ask nicely, what to say in formal circumstances, how to make small talk, etc.
Questions about written etiquette — email closures, letters, invites, etc. — may be tagged [politeness] along with other appropriate tags specific to written language.
