When you want to talk about cookies or biscuits, the word you need is 饼干 (bǐnggān). It's a useful word to know because who doesn't love a good cookie?
Think of 饼干 as a general term for any kind of flat, baked good that's usually sweet. So, whether you're munching on a chocolate chip cookie or a digestive biscuit, you'd call it 饼干 in Chinese.
When talking about something sweet to eat, Chinese people say 饼干 (bǐnggān). 饼干 can be used for both biscuits and cookies. If you want to differentiate, you can add adjectives.
For example, if you want to say 'crackers', you can say 咸饼干 (xián bǐnggān, savory biscuit). If you want to talk about cookies with chocolate chips, you can say 巧克力饼干 (qiǎokèlì bǐnggān, chocolate biscuit).
You might already know 饼干 (bǐnggān) means 'biscuit' or 'cookie.' That's a great start!
However, what's really useful is knowing how to use it in context. For example, if you want to offer someone a cookie, you'd say something like, '你要吃饼干吗？' (Nǐ yào chī bǐnggān ma? - Do you want to eat a cookie?)
Or, if you're talking about your favorite kind, you could say, '我喜欢巧克力饼干' (Wǒ xǐhuan qiǎokèlì bǐnggān - I like chocolate cookies). Remember, practice using new words in sentences to make them stick!
When talking about 饼干 (bǐnggān), it's useful to know that this term is quite broad and covers many types of baked goods we might call biscuits or cookies in English. While both terms are often interchangeable, in a Chinese context, 饼干 generally refers to a wide range of flat, baked, and often sweet items. For instance, you could be talking about anything from a simple digestive biscuit to a chocolate chip cookie.
If you need to be more specific, you can add modifiers, like 巧克力饼干 (qiǎokèlì bǐnggān) for chocolate cookies or 酥性饼干 (sūxìng bǐnggān) for shortbread biscuits. Understanding this versatility helps you accurately describe various snacks without needing a different word for every single type of cookie or biscuit. It’s a very practical word to have in your vocabulary for everyday situations, whether you’re shopping at a supermarket or enjoying an afternoon tea.
§ What does it mean and when do people use it?
Let's talk about 饼干 (bǐnggān). This is a really common word in Chinese, and you'll hear it all the time. Simply put, it means 'biscuit' or 'cookie'. Think of any kind of baked good that's typically small, flat, and sweet (or sometimes savory, but mostly sweet). That's 饼干.
- DEFINITION
- 饼干 (bǐnggān) refers to small, baked, often sweet items, similar to English 'biscuits' or 'cookies'. It's a general term.
When do people use it? Basically, whenever they're talking about biscuits or cookies! It's that straightforward. You'll use it when you're buying them, offering them, describing them, or just mentioning them in a conversation. It's a staple in snack discussions.
我喜欢吃巧克力饼干。 (Wǒ xǐhuan chī qiǎokèlì bǐnggān.)
Translation hint: I like to eat chocolate cookies/biscuits.
你想要一块饼干吗？ (Nǐ xiǎng yào yī kuài bǐnggān ma?)
Translation hint: Do you want a piece of biscuit/cookie?
It's a versatile word. You'll find it describing everything from simple plain biscuits to elaborate decorated cookies. If it's a small, baked, relatively flat snack, 饼干 is usually the right word. For example, if you're in a supermarket looking for digestives or chocolate chip cookies, you'd be looking for a type of 饼干.
Consider how you might use it in common situations:
- When offering a snack to a friend: 你想吃点饼干吗？ (Nǐ xiǎng chī diǎn bǐnggān ma?) - Would you like to eat some cookies/biscuits?
- When talking about your favorite snack: 我最喜欢吃花生饼干。 (Wǒ zuì xǐhuan chī huāshēng bǐnggān.) - I like eating peanut cookies/biscuits the most.
- When buying snacks: 我要去超市买一些饼干。 (Wǒ yào qù chāoshì mǎi yī xiē bǐnggān.) - I'm going to the supermarket to buy some biscuits/cookies.
See how natural it is? It's just like how you'd use 'biscuit' or 'cookie' in English. The context makes it clear. Don't overthink it. Just remember that it's a broad term for that category of snacks. You don't need separate words for 'cookie' and 'biscuit' most of the time when speaking Chinese. 饼干 covers them both effectively.
Understanding 饼干 (bǐnggān) is really about grasping a common food item. It's not a word with deep philosophical meanings or complex grammatical rules. It's practical vocabulary you'll use daily, especially if you have a sweet tooth or simply enjoy snacks. So next time you see a cookie or a biscuit, think 饼干!
§ Understanding 饼干 (bǐnggān)
The word 饼干 (bǐnggān) is your go-to for 'biscuit' or 'cookie' in Chinese. It's a very common word, and you'll hear it a lot. Think of it as the general term for those crunchy, often sweet, baked treats. If you just want to say 'a cookie' or 'some biscuits,' 饼干 (bǐnggān) is what you use.
- DEFINITION
- Biscuit, cookie.
我喜欢吃巧克力饼干。
Translation hint: I like to eat chocolate cookies.
§ When to use 饼干 (bǐnggān)
You can use 饼干 (bǐnggān) for most situations where you'd say 'cookie' or 'biscuit' in English. It's broad enough to cover many types, from plain digestive biscuits to fancy chocolate chip cookies.
- For a general term for any type of cookie or biscuit.
- When ordering at a cafe or buying at a supermarket.
- When talking about snacking or having a treat.
你可以给我一块饼干吗？
Translation hint: Can you give me a piece of cookie?
§ Alternatives and Specific Types
While 饼干 (bǐnggān) is widely used, there are a few other words or phrases that refer to specific types of baked goods. It's helpful to know these so you can be more precise when you need to be, but for daily conversation, 饼干 (bǐnggān) is usually enough.
- 曲奇 (qǔqí): This is a transliteration of 'cookie' and is sometimes used, especially for more 'Western-style' cookies, like chocolate chip or oatmeal raisin cookies. It's a bit more specific than 饼干 (bǐnggān). However, many people will still just say 饼干 (bǐnggān) even for these types.
这家店的曲奇很好吃。
Translation hint: The cookies at this store are very delicious.
- 酥饼 (sūbǐng): This literally means 'crispy cake' or 'flaky pastry.' It refers to a type of Chinese pastry that is often flaky and can be sweet or savory. It's not usually what you'd call a 'cookie' or 'biscuit' in the Western sense. Think of mooncakes (月饼, yuèbǐng) as a type of 酥饼 (sūbǐng).
我奶奶做的酥饼是最好的。
Translation hint: My grandma's flaky pastries are the best.
- 糕点 (gāodiǎn): This is a broader term meaning 'pastry' or 'cake.' It includes a wide variety of baked goods, both sweet and savory, and sometimes includes what you might call biscuits, but it's a much more general category than 饼干 (bǐnggān). If you want to talk about baked goods in general, 糕点 (gāodiǎn) is a good choice.
这家面包店有很多种好吃的糕点。
Translation hint: This bakery has many kinds of delicious pastries.
§ Summary: Keep it Simple
For most everyday conversations, stick with 饼干 (bǐnggān). It's widely understood and covers the most common uses of 'biscuit' or 'cookie'. If you want to be more specific for Western-style cookies, you can use 曲奇 (qǔqí), but it's not strictly necessary. Don't worry too much about the other terms unless you're talking about traditional Chinese pastries or a very broad category of baked goods.

Como usar
Both "biscuit" and "cookie" are acceptable translations for 饼干 (bǐnggān). In British English, "biscuit" is more common, while in American English, "cookie" is preferred. You can use this word when talking about a variety of baked goods, from digestive biscuits to chocolate chip cookies.
A common mistake is to confuse 饼干 (bǐnggān) with other baked goods like cakes (蛋糕 dàn'gāo) or bread (面包 miànbāo). While all are baked, 饼干 specifically refers to a small, flat, often crispy baked item.
Dicas
Listen for 'bǐng' and 'gān'
The first character, 饼 (bǐng), sounds like 'bing' in 'bingo'. The second character, 干 (gān), sounds like 'gan' in 'ganja'. Try to hear these sounds when someone says 'bǐnggān'.
Visualize a flat, dry snack
饼 (bǐng) often refers to flat, round food like pancakes or tortillas. 干 (gān) means 'dry'. So, you're looking at a 'dry flat food' – a perfect image for a biscuit or cookie. This can help you remember the meaning.
Common usage in sentences
You'll often hear '饼干' in contexts like eating snacks or offering treats. For example, '我喜欢吃饼干' (Wǒ xǐhuān chī bǐnggān) means 'I like to eat biscuits/cookies'.
Use with quantifiers
When counting biscuits/cookies, you'll use specific measure words. For instance, '一块饼干' (yī kuài bǐnggān) means 'one piece of biscuit/cookie'. '块 (kuài)' is a common measure word for pieces or chunks.
Differentiate from bread
While both are baked goods, '饼干' is specifically for biscuits/cookies. '面包 (miànbāo)' is the word for bread. Don't confuse the two.
Practice saying it aloud
Repetition is key. Say '饼干' (bǐnggān) out loud several times. Try to maintain the correct tones: third tone for 饼 and first tone for 干.
Associate with a favorite snack
Think of your favorite biscuit or cookie and mentally label it '饼干'. This personal connection can aid memory.
Flashcards for quick recall
Create a flashcard with '饼干' on one side and 'biscuit, cookie' on the other. Include a small picture for visual learners. This is great for active recall of the Chinese word.
Ask for '饼干'
If you're in a Chinese-speaking environment and want a biscuit or cookie, try saying, '请给我饼干' (Qǐng gěi wǒ bǐnggān - Please give me a biscuit/cookie). Practical use cements learning.
Contextualize with drinks
Often, biscuits and cookies are eaten with drinks. Practice phrases like '我喜欢喝茶吃饼干' (Wǒ xǐhuān hē chá chī bǐnggān - I like to drink tea and eat biscuits/cookies). This expands your usage of the word.
Memorize
Mnemônico
Imagine a **bing**-o game where the prize is a delicious **gan**ache cookie. **饼干** (bǐnggān) - biscuit, cookie.
Associação visual
Picture a round, flat biscuit (饼 bǐng) that's as dry as a cracker (干 gān). Imagine the 'bǐng' as the flat round shape of the biscuit and 'gān' as its dry, crispy texture.

Try to use '饼干' in a sentence when you're talking about wanting a snack. For example, if you see some cookies, think: '我想吃饼干' (Wǒ xiǎng chī bǐnggān - I want to eat biscuits/cookies).
Origem da palavra

Sino-Tibetan, Sinitic, Mandarin Chinese.Contexto cultural

Perguntas frequentes
10 perguntas饼干 (bǐnggān) is the general term for cookies and biscuits in Chinese. 曲奇 (qūqí) is a more specific term, usually referring to what English speakers would call 'cookies' – often softer, sweeter, and with chunks like chocolate chips. So, all 曲奇 are 饼干, but not all 饼干 are 曲奇. Think of 饼干 as 'baked goods' and 曲奇 as 'cookies'.
You would say 吃饼干 (chī bǐnggān). For example: '我喜欢吃饼干' (Wǒ xǐhuān chī bǐnggān) – 'I like to eat cookies.'
Generally, yes. While there's a specific term for crackers (苏打饼干 - sūdá bǐnggān, soda crackers), 饼干 (bǐnggān) can encompass them. If you want to be precise, you can say 咸饼干 (xián bǐnggān), meaning 'salty biscuits' or 'crackers'.
It's countable! You use the measure word 块 (kuài) for pieces. So, 一块饼干 (yī kuài bǐnggān) means 'one cookie/biscuit.' For a packet, you'd use 包 (bāo): 一包饼干 (yī bāo bǐnggān) – 'a packet of cookies.'
You can say: 你想吃饼干吗？(Nǐ xiǎng chī bǐnggān ma?) – 'Do you want to eat a cookie?' Or simply: 要饼干吗？(Yào bǐnggān ma?) – 'Want some cookies?'
A common phrase is 饼干碎了 (bǐnggān suì le), which means 'the cookie is broken/crumbled.' You might also hear 饼干盒 (bǐnggān hé), meaning 'cookie tin/box.'
Yes, many! Besides 曲奇 (qūqí) and 苏打饼干 (sūdá bǐnggān), you might encounter 威化饼干 (wēihuà bǐnggān) for wafers, or just generally sweet (甜饼干 - tián bǐnggān) vs. savory (咸饼干 - xián bǐnggān).
For animal crackers, it's usually 动物饼干 (dòngwù bǐnggān). For pet biscuits, you'd specify 宠物饼干 (chǒngwù bǐnggān). Just using 饼干 alone usually implies human food.
饼干 (bǐnggān) is a combination of 饼 (bǐng), which refers to flat, round cakes or pastries, and 干 (gān), meaning dry. So, literally 'dry flat cakes/pastries.' This makes sense given what cookies and biscuits are.
To like them: 我喜欢饼干 (Wǒ xǐhuān bǐnggān) – 'I like cookies.' To dislike them: 我不喜欢饼干 (Wǒ bù xǐhuān bǐnggān) – 'I don't like cookies.' Or if you really don't like them: 我讨厌饼干 (Wǒ tǎoyàn bǐnggān) – 'I hate cookies.'
