待人热情

Pronunciation: dài rén rè qíng Literal meaning: Treat people warmly

Origin & Usage

To treat people (待人) with warmth (热情). This is an ordinary modern set phrase, not a classical idiom: no source, no story, and it is built the same way as 待人接物 and 待人诚恳. 热情 is literally "hot feeling," and the temperature metaphor is doing real work — the word covers enthusiasm as well as warmth, so the phrase implies visible, energetic hospitality rather than quiet courtesy. It belongs to the register of character references, school reports and workplace evaluations.

Examples

English: "The small-town shopkeeper greeted every customer like an old friend"
