Make a Mother’s Day Card in Chinese

First of all, how do you say a Mother’s Day Card in Chinese? I will give you a hint: You will use “zhāng” (张) for a card (卡片：kǎ piàn).

Mother’s day, we say “mǔqīn jié” (母亲). It is made up of the words: “mǔ qīnjié” (母亲) and jié (“节”).

“母亲” (mǔ qīnjié) is the traditional term for Mother–妈妈（mā ma：”mother”) and “节” (jié) is the Chinese word for “Holiday; festival”

Although this is a Mother’s Day, you can also make a card on this special day to show your appreciation to anyone who has cared for you like a mother. If your mother has passed away, you could also make this card to express your love for her, I told a student whose mother has recently passed away: “You may use this opportunity to commemorate her and express in Chinese your love for her and also tell your guardian angel how much you have missed her.”（可以对她说：“我很想念你。）It may bring some sadness but this could be turned into an occasion to commemorate her!
