When you take a plane, the people who help you are called flight attendants. In Chinese, we call them 空姐 (kōngjiě) if they are female, and 空少 (kōngshǎo) if they are male.
You'll hear 空姐 used more often, even for the whole group. They are there to make sure you have a safe and comfortable trip.
When you're at the A2 level in Chinese, you're starting to build a basic vocabulary related to everyday life and common situations. Learning words like "空姐" (kōngjiě) for flight attendant is practical because it's a job you encounter when traveling, and travel is a common topic in beginner conversations. Understanding this word helps you describe people and professions in a simple, direct way.
When you're flying, the person who helps you on the plane is called a flight attendant. In Chinese, we say 空姐 (kōng jiě). Literally, it means "sky older sister." This term is used for female flight attendants.
While 空姐 is very common, you might also hear 空乘 (kōng chéng), which is a more gender-neutral term for flight attendant, literally meaning "sky attendant." However, 空姐 is still widely used and understood, especially when referring to women working on flights.
You'll often hear the word 空姐 (kōngjiě) used in everyday Chinese to refer to a female flight attendant. It's a very common and direct term. The 空 (kōng) literally means "sky" or "air," and 姐 (jiě) means "older sister," so it literally translates to "sky sister." While it specifically refers to women, it's widely understood in context. There is a gender-neutral term, 空乘 (kōngchéng), and a male equivalent, 空少 (kōngshào), but 空姐 is by far the most frequently used when talking about female flight attendants. You'll encounter this word a lot if you're talking about air travel or service on a plane.
§ What does it mean?
So, you've come across the Chinese word 空姐 (kōngjiě). What does it actually mean, and when would you use it? Simply put, 空姐 translates to 'flight attendant' or 'stewardess' in English. It's a common and practical term you'll hear and see frequently, especially if you're traveling or discussing air travel in China.
- DEFINITION
- 空姐 (kōngjiě): flight attendant, stewardess
This word is specifically used for female flight attendants. While there is a term for male flight attendants (空少 - kōngshào), 空姐 is by far the more commonly used and recognized term when referring to cabin crew in general, even though it strictly means a female attendant. Think of it like how 'waiter' used to be a general term even when referring to waitresses, though 'server' is now more inclusive. In Chinese, 空姐 still holds that widespread, almost generic, usage for the role.
§ When do people use 空姐?
You'll use or hear 空姐 in almost any context related to air travel and the people who work on planes. Here are some typical situations:
- Talking about your flight experience: "The 空姐 was very helpful."
- Describing someone's profession: "My sister is a 空姐."
- In news or media: Stories about airline service, new uniforms, or even travel blogs will frequently feature 空姐.
- Asking for assistance on a plane: While you might simply say "你好" (nǐ hǎo - hello) to get their attention, if you were discussing the role, you'd use 空姐.
It's a straightforward word, not formal or overly casual, making it suitable for most everyday conversations. You don't need to worry about it being too polite or too rude; it's just the standard term.
§ Breaking down the characters
Understanding the individual characters can sometimes help you remember the meaning:
- 空 (kōng): This character means 'sky' or 'empty'. In this context, it refers to the sky or air travel.
- 姐 (jiě): This character means 'older sister'. It's commonly used as a respectful suffix for young women or as a general term of address for women in certain professions, especially service roles.
So, literally, you could think of it as 'sky sister', which makes sense for someone who works in the sky.
§ Examples in action
Let's look at some practical examples to solidify your understanding:
那位空姐的服务非常好。
That flight attendant's service was very good. (lit. That flight attendant's service was very good.)
她从小就梦想成为一名空姐。
She dreamed of becoming a flight attendant since childhood. (lit. She from small just dreamed become one [measure word] flight attendant.)
请问，空姐，我能要一杯水吗？
Excuse me, flight attendant, may I have a glass of water? (lit. Please ask, flight attendant, I can want one [measure word] water嗎[question particle]?) (Note: While grammatically correct, often people just say “你好” or use a more indirect approach to ask for things on a plane)
As you can see, it's a straightforward and widely applicable term. Don't overthink it; use 空姐 when you mean 'flight attendant', especially when referring to a female one, and you'll be understood perfectly.
§ Basic Usage of 空姐
The word 空姐 (kōngjiě) is a noun and refers to a female flight attendant. It's pretty straightforward to use in a sentence, much like how you'd use 'flight attendant' in English. You can use it as the subject or object of a sentence.
- DEFINITION
- flight attendant
那位空姐很漂亮。(That flight attendant is very beautiful.)
我问了空姐。(I asked the flight attendant.)
§ Using 空姐 with Verbs
You'll often find 空姐 (kōngjiě) paired with verbs that describe actions flight attendants perform or interact with passengers. Common verbs include 问 (wèn - to ask), 告诉 (gàosu - to tell), 服务 (fúwù - to serve), or 看到 (kàndào - to see).
空姐给我倒了水。(The flight attendant poured me water.)
乘客正在和空姐说话。(The passenger is talking to the flight attendant.)
§ Descriptions and Modifiers for 空姐
You can describe 空姐 (kōngjiě) using adjectives. These adjectives usually come before 空姐. Common descriptive words include 漂亮 (piàoliang - beautiful), 友善 (yǒushàn - friendly), 热情 (rèqíng - enthusiastic), or 专业 (zhuānyè - professional).
那位友善的空姐帮了我。(That friendly flight attendant helped me.)
我看到一个专业的空姐。(I saw a professional flight attendant.)
§ Using Quantifiers with 空姐
When counting flight attendants, you'll use a quantifier. The most common quantifier for people is 位 (wèi), especially when you want to show respect, or 个 (gè) for a more general count.
- 一位空姐 (yī wèi kōngjiě) - one flight attendant (respectful)
- 一个空姐 (yī gè kōngjiě) - one flight attendant (general)
飞机上有三位空姐。(There are three flight attendants on the plane.)
我看到一位中国空姐。(I saw a Chinese flight attendant.)
§ Prepositions with 空姐
You'll often use prepositions like 和 (hé - and/with), 跟 (gēn - with), or 对 (duì - towards) when talking about interactions involving a flight attendant.
- 和空姐说话 (hé kōngjiě shuōhuà) - to talk with a flight attendant
- 跟空姐抱怨 (gēn kōngjiě bàoyuàn) - to complain to a flight attendant
- 对空姐很客气 (duì kōngjiě hěn kèqi) - to be very polite to a flight attendant
请和空姐沟通。(Please communicate with the flight attendant.)
他对空姐很礼貌。(He is very polite to the flight attendant.)
§ Don't Overuse It
While 空姐 is the most common and widely understood term for 'flight attendant' in Chinese, some learners tend to use it in situations where a more general term like 'cabin crew' or even just 'staff' might be more appropriate in English. Remember, 空姐 specifically refers to a female flight attendant. If you want to be gender-neutral or refer to the entire cabin crew, other terms are better.
§ Using It for Male Flight Attendants
This is a classic mistake. 空姐 literally means 'sky older sister' or 'sky lady.' It's inherently feminine. If you're talking about a male flight attendant, you should use 空少 (kōngshào), which means 'sky younger brother' or 'sky gentleman.' While 空姐 is more common due to historical reasons (more women in the role), it's important to differentiate.
飞机上有一位空少。
- DEFINITION
- There is a male flight attendant on the plane.
Using 空姐 for a male flight attendant is like calling a male nurse a 'nursemaid' – it's incorrect and might sound a bit off to native speakers.
§ Formal vs. Informal Usage
While 空姐 is generally fine for everyday conversation, if you're in a very formal context or writing official documents, you might encounter or want to use a more formal term. The most common gender-neutral and formal term for 'flight attendant' or 'cabin crew member' is 乘务员 (chéngwùyuán). This term encompasses both male and female flight attendants and is often used by airlines themselves.
请听从乘务员的指示。
- DEFINITION
- Please follow the instructions of the cabin crew.
So, when should you use which term?
- Use 空姐 for female flight attendants in casual conversation.
- Use 空少 for male flight attendants in casual conversation.
- Use 乘务员 when you need a gender-neutral term, in formal contexts, or when referring to the cabin crew as a whole.
§ Don't Forget the Context
Like many words, the best choice depends on the context. If you're telling a story about a helpful female flight attendant you met, 空姐 is perfectly natural. If you're reading an announcement on a flight, expect to hear 乘务员. Being aware of these nuances will make your Chinese sound much more natural and precise.
那位空姐非常友好。
- DEFINITION
- That flight attendant (female) was very friendly.
In summary, while 空姐 is a great word to know, be mindful of its gender specificity and consider more formal or gender-neutral alternatives like 空少 or 乘务员 when appropriate. This will help you avoid common pitfalls and speak more accurately.
How Formal Is It?
"航班乘务员将为您提供服务。(Hángbān chéngwùyuán jiāng wèi nín tígōng fúwù.) - The flight attendant will provide you with service."
"空乘会检查您的机票。(Kōngchéng huì jiǎnchá nín de jīpiào.) - The flight attendant will check your ticket."
"那位空姐很漂亮。(Nà wèi kōngjiě hěn piàoliang.) - That flight attendant is very pretty."
"飞机阿姨给我们发了零食。(Fēijī āyí gěi wǒmen fāle língshí.) - The airplane auntie gave us snacks."
"空中小姐的服务很好。(Kōngzhōng xiǎojiě de fúwù hěn hǎo.) - The air hostess's service is very good."
Fun Fact
The term '空姐' is almost exclusively used for female flight attendants. For male flight attendants, the term '空少' (kōngshào), meaning 'sky young man,' is used, though '空服员' (kōngfúyuán) is a gender-neutral and more formal term for all flight attendants.

Frequently Asked Questions
10 questions空姐 (kōngjiě) literally means "sky sister" and traditionally refers specifically to female flight attendants. 乘务员 (chéngwùyuán) is a more general and gender-neutral term that means "crew member" or "attendant" and can refer to both male and female flight attendants, or even staff on trains and buses. While 空姐 is widely understood, 乘务员 is more formal and inclusive.
No, you shouldn't. 空姐 (kōngjiě) is specifically for female flight attendants. For male flight attendants, you would say 空少 (kōngshào), which means "sky young man," or the more general term 乘务员 (chéngwùyuán).
Yes, 空姐 (kōngjiě) is generally a respectful and commonly used term. It's a widely recognized and understood word for female flight attendants in Chinese culture.
Besides 空姐 (kōngjiě) for female attendants and 空少 (kōngshào) for male attendants, the most common and comprehensive term is 乘务员 (chéngwùyuán). This term covers all flight attendants regardless of gender.
For formal contexts, especially in official announcements or company communications, you should use 乘务员 (chéngwùyuán). This is the professional and gender-neutral term.
Absolutely! 空姐 (kōngjiě) is very common in everyday conversation when referring to female flight attendants. It's a natural and widely understood term.
If you don't know the gender or want to be inclusive, use 乘务员 (chéngwùyuán). It's the safest and most appropriate choice for any flight attendant.
空 (kōng) is pronounced with the first tone (flat). 姐 (jiě) is pronounced with the third tone (dipping and rising). So it's kōngjiě.
Yes, if you know a woman who is a flight attendant, you can say "她是一名空姐" (Tā shì yī míng kōngjiě - She is a flight attendant) or "我的朋友是空姐" (Wǒ de péngyou shì kōngjiě - My friend is a flight attendant). It's perfectly natural.
