Is it appropriate to let others save their mobile phone numbers?

When you give someone your mobile phone number, it is no problem to say "please save it".

It should be noted that when the other party says "please save", how do we answer? Once I said "please save" and the other party replied "save", which made me laugh. From the analysis of details, although the honorific words in Chinese are not so systematic, there are indeed differences between "modesty" and "honorific words". Modesty is to belittle yourself, and respect is to raise each other.

"Please save" is actually a kind of "modesty", which means "Please help me save this mobile phone number". Treat yourself as a subordinate and think that the other party's saving the mobile phone number is a special favor to oneself, thus showing respect for the other party. Therefore, don't say "saved" when you answer, which means "I gave you such a big favor and saved your mobile phone number". Is an unreasonable arrogant statement. Even a neutral expression like "saved" can't be said to be "saved".

So what should its corresponding reply be?

It should be "respect" I saved your mobile phone number with great respect. At this time, it is saying "respect". The other party said humility, and I said respect, just equal, with a kind of warmth and respect. There are also some possible expressions, such as "I kept it", which is probably ok, but rarely. "Saved" is probably unnecessary for the mobile phone number. Therefore, it is probably the best courtesy to give someone your mobile phone number and say "please save" when you receive your mobile phone number.

Hui Cun and Ya Zheng are commonly used words by literati. Ya Zheng means to let others correct their books or articles and make comments, which are generally used by elders. Huicun means that when you give a book, you want the other person to accept it and keep it. However, China's culture is extensive and profound, and the original meanings of many words have new uses. Now, saving is saving. So the phone number says it's okay to save it.
