This verb literally means "to add salary" and is used when someone receives an increase in their pay.

For instance, you might hear a colleague say, '我老板给我加薪了' (Wǒ lǎobǎn gěi wǒ jiāxīn le), meaning 'My boss gave me a raise.'
Understanding 加薪 is key to comprehending discussions about employment benefits and financial improvements.
§ What '加薪' Means
- DEFINITION
- To get a raise; to increase salary. It's a verb.
Alright, let's talk about something everyone loves: getting more money. In Chinese, when your salary goes up, you say 加薪 (jiāxīn). This word is straightforward. 加 (jiā) means 'add' or 'increase', and 薪 (xīn) is short for 薪水 (xīnshuǐ), which means 'salary' or 'wages'. Put them together, and you're literally 'adding salary'. Easy, right?
§ Where You'll Hear '加薪'
You're going to hear 加薪 mostly in work-related contexts, which makes sense. It's a common topic in offices, during performance reviews, or when people are discussing their job satisfaction. It's not really a school word unless you're talking about a teacher getting a raise, and in the news, it will come up when they're reporting on economic trends, labor disputes, or company policies.
§ Common Situations and Examples
Let's look at some practical ways you'll encounter 加薪 in real life. These examples will show you how to use it correctly and help you understand it when you hear it.
Workplace Discussions: This is the most common place. Colleagues often talk about whether they're expecting a raise, or if a company is known for giving good raises.
听说公司今年会给员工加薪。
I heard the company will give raises to employees this year.
他工作很努力，应该得到加薪。
He works very hard; he should get a raise.
Negotiations: When you're discussing your salary, whether for a new job or a promotion, 加薪 is a key term.

§ Related Vocabulary
Knowing a few related terms will help you understand the full picture when it comes to salary discussions:
- 涨工资 (zhǎng gōngzī): This is another common way to say 'raise salary'. It's very similar to 加薪 and often used interchangeably. 涨 (zhǎng) means 'rise' or 'increase', and 工资 (gōngzī) means 'wages' or 'salary'.
- 减薪 (jiǎnxīn): The opposite of 加薪. 减 (jiǎn) means 'decrease' or 'reduce'. So, 减薪 means 'to cut salary'. Hopefully, you won't hear this one too often!
- 年终奖 (niánzhōngjiǎng): Year-end bonus. This is a common form of extra income in many Chinese companies. It's not a raise to your base salary, but it's related to your overall compensation.
Understanding 加薪 and its related terms is essential for anyone working or planning to work in a Chinese-speaking environment. It's a practical word that you'll definitely use and hear often. Keep practicing these examples, and you'll be negotiating your next raise in Chinese in no time!

Grammar Patterns
Easily Confused
Often confused with 加薪 (jiāxīn) because both mean 'to increase salary' or 'to get a raise'.
加薪 (jiāxīn) is a more formal and generally accepted term in written and official contexts. 加工资 (jiā gōngzī) is more colloquial and commonly used in spoken Chinese.
我老板答应给我加工资了。 (Wǒ lǎobǎn dāyìng gěi wǒ jiā gōngzī le.) - My boss promised to give me a raise.
Similar to 加薪 (jiāxīn) and 加工资 (jiā gōngzī) in meaning 'to increase salary'.
涨工资 (zhǎng gōngzī) is another common, slightly more informal way to say 'to get a raise'. It emphasizes the increase or rise of the salary.
公司宣布下个月会涨工资。 (Gōngsī xuānbù xià gè yuè huì zhǎng gōngzī.) - The company announced that salaries will increase next month.
While often associated with a salary increase, 升职 (shēngzhí) specifically means 'to get a promotion' in terms of position, not necessarily salary.
升职 (shēngzhí) refers to an advancement in job title or position. While a promotion often comes with a raise (加薪), it's not inherent in the meaning of 升职 itself.
他因为工作表现出色而升职了。 (Tā yīnwèi gōngzuò biǎoxiàn chūsè ér shēngzhí le.) - He got promoted because of his excellent work performance.
Directly translates to 'raise salary' and is very close in meaning to 加薪 (jiāxīn).
提薪 (tíxīn) is a slightly more formal or official term for 'raising salary', often used in announcements or official documents. 加薪 (jiāxīn) is more commonly used in everyday conversation.
公司决定为所有员工提薪百分之五。 (Gōngsī juédìng wèi suǒyǒu yuángōng tíxīn bǎifēn zhī wǔ.) - The company decided to raise all employees' salaries by five percent.
Literally means 'add money', which could be misinterpreted as 'getting a raise'.
加钱 (jiā qián) is a general term for 'adding money' or 'paying more' for something, not specifically 'getting a salary increase'. It can refer to additional payment for goods or services, or simply adding more cash to a total.
这个服务要加钱吗？ (Zhège fúwù yào jiā qián ma?) - Does this service require additional payment?

How to Use It
加薪 (jiāxīn) means 'to get a raise' or 'to increase salary.' It's commonly used to talk about an increase in pay. You can use it as a verb, like in '他加薪了' (Tā jiāxīn le), meaning 'He got a raise.' You can also use it to express the action of giving a raise, as in '公司给他加薪' (Gōngsī gěi tā jiāxīn), meaning 'The company gave him a raise.'
A common mistake is to confuse 加薪 (jiāxīn) with 'salary' itself. Remember, 加薪 refers specifically to the *increase* in salary, not the overall salary amount. If you want to talk about salary in general, you would use words like 工资 (gōngzī) or 薪水 (xīnshuǐ).
Memorize It
Mnemonic
Imagine an employee who works extra hours, represented by '加' (add/plus). They hope their boss will '薪' (salary) by giving them more money. So, 加薪 means to add to the salary, or to get a raise.
Visual Association
Picture a stack of money getting taller with more bills being added to it. The '加' looks a bit like a cross or a plus sign, signifying 'adding,' and '薪' contains the radical for 'grass' or 'plant,' which can visually be associated with growth or getting more. So, you're visually adding to your 'growing' salary.
Word Web
Challenge
Try to use '加薪' in a sentence about your own work or a friend's. For example: '我希望能得到加薪。' (Wǒ xīwàng néng dédào jiāxīn. - I hope I can get a raise.) Or: '他努力工作，所以老板给他加薪了。' (Tā nǔlì gōngzuò, suǒyǐ lǎobǎn gěi tā jiāxīn le. - He worked hard, so his boss gave him a raise.)
Word Origin
Composed of '加' (jiā) meaning 'to add' or 'to increase', and '薪' (xīn) which originally referred to 'firewood' or 'fuel' but later evolved to mean 'salary' or 'wages'.
Original meaning: The combination literally means 'to add to the fuel/wages'.
Sino-Tibetan, Sinitic (Chinese)Cultural Context
When someone gets a '加薪' (jiāxīn), it's a cause for celebration and often involves treating colleagues or friends to a meal.
