nǚshénjié Meaning:

“女神” means “goddess,” and “节” means “festival.” This term, widely used by Chinese netizens and in Chinese media, refers to “Women’s Day,” which falls on March 8 each year. Previously, people would use the standard translation of “妇女节,” but nowadays, people prefer the more flattering term.

Example:

A: 上周五你们公司放假了吗？

Shàngzhōuwǔ nǐmen gōngsī fàngjià le ma？

Did you take some time off last Friday?

B: 没有啊。

Méiyǒu a。

No.

A: 因为女神节，我们所有女员工都放假半天。
