How do you say crybaby in Chinese?

There are a few ways to say "crybaby" in Chinese, depending on the context and level of formality. Here are some options:

Formal/Neutral:

* 爱哭鬼 (àikūguǐ) - literally "love-cry-ghost," meaning "someone who loves to cry." This is a common and neutral way to say crybaby.

* 爱哭的 (àikū de) - literally "loves to cry," meaning someone who cries easily. This is a more descriptive and less insulting way to say crybaby.

Informal/Derogatory:

* 爱哭虫 (àikūchóng) - literally "love-cry-bug," a more childish and derogatory term for crybaby.

* 爱掉眼泪 (àidiào yǎnlèi) - literally "loves to drop tears," a less common but still somewhat derogatory phrase.

You can also use a phrase like "爱哭的人 (àikū de rén)" (person who loves to cry) to avoid being too direct or offensive.

The best way to choose the right phrase depends on the specific situation and the tone you want to convey.
