The word for 'general manager' in Chinese is 总经理 (zǒng jīng lǐ). It's a noun.
总 (zǒng) means 'general' or 'total'.
经理 (jīng lǐ) means 'manager'.
So, putting them together, 总经理 literally means 'general manager'.
You'll hear this in business contexts to refer to the person in charge of the overall operations of a company or a major division.
When talking about someone who holds the top management position in a company, you'll often hear the term 总经理 (zǒng jīng lǐ). This translates directly to 'general manager' and is a very common title in Chinese businesses. Think of it as the person who oversees the overall operations and strategic direction of a company or a major division. You'll frequently encounter this word in business news, company introductions, or when discussing organizational structures. It's a practical and straightforward term to describe a key leadership role.
The term 总经理 (zǒng jīnglǐ) refers to the general manager of a company or organization.

§ With Prepositions (or Coverbs)
Chinese doesn't have prepositions in the same way English does, but it uses what we call 'coverbs' or prepositional phrases. Here are a few common ones you'll see with 总经理.

§ Formal vs. Informal Usage
While 总经理 is a formal title, you'll hear it used in both formal business settings and sometimes in slightly less formal, but still professional, conversations. It's almost always used with respect.
§ Common Phrases and Patterns
我们的总经理 (wǒmen de zǒng jīnglǐ) - Our General Manager: Simple and direct.
这是我们的总经理王先生。
Zhè shì wǒmen de zǒng jīnglǐ Wáng xiānshēng.

That's a solid start on using 总经理 in different contexts. Remember, practice is key. Try forming your own sentences and you'll get the hang of it quickly.
§ Don't Confuse It with Other Managerial Titles
Many learners, especially those new to business Chinese, often mix up 总经理 (zǒng jīng lǐ) with other titles like 经理 (jīng lǐ) or 董事长 (dǒng shì zhǎng). While they all involve management, their roles and seniority are quite different. Getting these wrong can lead to awkward situations or misunderstandings in a professional setting.
- DEFINITION
- 总经理 (zǒng jīng lǐ): General Manager, the highest operational manager in a company.
- DEFINITION
- 经理 (jīng lǐ): Manager, a general term for a manager, could be a department manager or project manager.
- DEFINITION
- 董事长 (dǒng shì zhǎng): Chairman of the Board, the head of the board of directors, often a more strategic and less day-to-day operational role than a general manager.
Imagine you're at a business meeting and you address the company's CEO as a regular 'manager'. It's a small mistake that can show a lack of understanding of the corporate structure. 总经理 (zǒng jīng lǐ) is a big role, often reporting directly to the chairman or board, and has overall responsibility for the day-to-day operations of the company.
我们的总经理今天会和客户见面。(Our general manager will meet with clients today.)
他是销售部的经理。(He is the sales department manager.)
公司的董事长发表了重要讲话。(The company's chairman delivered an important speech.)
§ Using It Too Broadly
Sometimes learners tend to use 总经理 (zǒng jīng lǐ) as a catch-all for anyone in a leadership position. This isn't quite right. While a general manager is a leader, not all leaders are general managers. For example, a school principal is a leader, but you wouldn't call them a 总经理 (zǒng jīng lǐ).
Incorrect: 学校的总经理。(The school's general manager.)
Correct: 学校的校长 (xiào zhǎng)。(The school's principal.)
The term 总经理 (zǒng jīng lǐ) is specifically for the corporate world, referring to the executive who manages the overall operations of a company or a major division. It's a formal title that carries significant weight and responsibility within a business hierarchy.
§ Incorrect Usage in Informal Contexts
While 総経理 (zǒng jīng lǐ) is a common and appropriate term in formal business settings, using it in very casual conversations or for people in non-business leadership roles can sound overly formal or even a bit strange. For instance, if you're talking about the leader of a small volunteer group, using 总经理 (zǒng jīng lǐ) would be inappropriate.
Instead, you might use more general terms like 负责人 (fù zé rén - person in charge) or 领导 (lǐng dǎo - leader) if you're not sure of their specific title or if the context is informal.
我们团队的负责人是王先生。(The person in charge of our team is Mr. Wang.)
Always consider the context and the specific role of the person you're referring to. When in doubt, it's safer to use a more general term or to ask for clarification if appropriate.
§ Similar words and when to use this one vs alternatives
Alright, let's talk about '总经理' (zǒng jīnglǐ) and some other common titles you'll hear in a Chinese business context. It's super important to know the differences so you don't accidentally promote or demote someone with your words! '总经理' literally means 'general manager', and it's a pretty big deal. This person is usually in charge of the day-to-day operations of an entire company or a significant business unit.
我们的总经理今天会见客户。
Now, let's look at some related terms and how they compare.
经理 (jīnglǐ): Manager. This is a more general term. A '经理' can be a manager of almost anything – a department, a store, a project, a team. They report to someone higher up, potentially even a '总经理'. If you're just talking about 'manager' in general, this is your word. It's less senior than '总经理'.
- DEFINITION
- 经理 (jīnglǐ): Manager. A person responsible for controlling or administering all or part of a company or organization.
销售经理负责管理销售团队。
总裁 (zǒngcái): President/CEO. This is even higher than '总经理'. A '总裁' is typically the head of an entire corporation. They're often focused on the overall vision, strategy, and external representation of the company. In smaller companies, the '总经理' might also be the '总裁', but in larger organizations, they are distinct roles. The '总裁' is usually at the very top of the corporate hierarchy.
- DEFINITION
- 总裁 (zǒngcái): President or CEO (Chief Executive Officer). This is the highest-ranking executive in a company, responsible for its overall success and strategic direction.
公司总裁发表了年度报告。
董事长 (dǒngshìzhǎng): Chairman of the Board. This person heads the board of directors. While a '总裁' manages the company day-to-day, the '董事长' oversees the board, which focuses on governance, long-term strategy, and protecting shareholder interests. They usually don't get involved in daily operations. In some companies, the '总裁' might also be the '董事长', but often they are different people with different responsibilities.
- DEFINITION
- 董事长 (dǒngshìzhǎng): Chairman of the Board. The head of a company's board of directors, responsible for leading board meetings and ensuring proper governance.
公司的董事长出席了股东大会。
So, when should you use '总经理'? Use it when you're referring to the person who has overall operational responsibility for a company or a significant division. They are senior to a regular '经理' but typically report to a '总裁' or '董事长' in larger organizations.
Understanding these distinctions will help you sound much more professional and accurate when discussing business structures in Chinese. Don't mix them up!
재미있는 사실
While '总经理' is a common and formal title, in some smaller businesses or less hierarchical structures, you might hear '老板' (lǎobǎn) which literally means 'boss' and can be used for an owner or general manager.

사용법
总经理 (zǒng jīng lǐ) literally means 'general manager' and is a very common and direct way to refer to the person in charge of the day-to-day operations of a company or a major department. You'll hear this in business settings all the time. It's straightforward and professional. Use it when you want to clearly state someone's position as the top manager.
A common mistake for English speakers is to overthink the translation and try to use more complex terms. For example, some might try to use '首席执行官' (shǒuxí zhíxíng guān) which is CEO. While a general manager might be a CEO, 总经理 specifically refers to the general manager role, not necessarily the very top executive title. Stick with 总经理 for 'general manager'. Don't confuse it with '经理' (jīng lǐ), which just means 'manager' and is a broader term for various management levels below the general manager.
팁
Basic Meaning
The most common meaning of 总经理 is 'general manager' or 'CEO' in a company context. It's a very standard term.
Breaking Down the Characters
总 (zǒng) means 'total,' 'chief,' or 'general.' 经理 (jīnglǐ) means 'manager.' So, literally, it's the 'chief manager.'
Formal Context
You'll almost exclusively hear or see 总经理 in a formal business or organizational setting. It's not used casually.
Common Usage Example
When you want to say 'He is the general manager,' you say '他是总经理 (tā shì zǒngjīnglǐ).'
Distinguishing from 经理
While 经理 means 'manager,' 总经理 is the top manager, overseeing all other managers. Think of it as 'the manager of managers.'
Addressing a GM
When addressing a general manager, it's common and polite to say '总经理 [their surname]' or just '总经理' if you don't know their surname.
Using in Sentences
Our 总经理 will attend the meeting. 我们总经理会参加会议 (Wǒmen zǒngjīnglǐ huì cānjiā huìyì).
Variations - CEO
While 总经理 often translates to 'CEO,' sometimes the term '首席执行官 (shǒuxí zhíxíngguān)' is used for CEO, especially in larger, more international companies. However, 总经理 is generally understood as the highest-ranking executive.
Listening Practice
Try to listen for '总经理' in Chinese business news or dramas to get accustomed to its pronunciation and context. Pay attention to the tone of '总' (zǒng) and '经' (jīng).
Writing Practice
Practice writing the characters for 总经理. Focus on stroke order for better recall. It helps cement the word in your memory.
어원
Composed of three characters: '总' (zǒng) meaning 'general' or 'overall', '经' (jīng) meaning 'to manage' or 'to run', and '理' (lǐ) meaning 'to handle' or 'to govern'.
원래 의미: The combination of '总' and '经' forms '总经理' (zǒngjīnglǐ), literally 'general managing director'.
Sino-Tibetan, Sinitic, Chinese.문화적 맥락
The role of a '总经理' (general manager) in China often carries significant responsibility and prestige. In many companies, the '总经理' is a key decision-maker, overseeing various departments and operations. It's a respected position that signifies leadership and authority within an organization.

This sentence means 'Excuse me, which department's general manager are you?' It's a polite question using '请问' (qǐngwèn) at the beginning, followed by the question structure '您是哪个部门的总经理？' (nǐ shì nǎ ge bùmén de zǒngjīnglǐ?).
Choose the most appropriate word to complete the sentence: “我们的___正在和客户开会。”
The sentence talks about someone having a meeting with a client, which is a typical duty for a 'general manager' (总经理). The other options (waiter, chef, driver) do not fit the context.

A general manager (总经理) is usually at the top of the management hierarchy and has the most authority among the given options.
If you want to introduce your company's head, you would likely say: “这是我们公司的___。”

This sentence means 'He was promoted to the company's general manager.' The structure '被 (bèi) + verb' indicates a passive voice. '提升为' means 'promoted to' and '公司的总经理' is the object.
