Question regarding 好的,收到 // Alright, Goodnight (Flight MH370) Chinese media have reported the last communication from flight MH370 as "好的,收到". I find this hard to reconcile with the English message "Alright, goodnight" as reported by the Malaysian authorities. My understanding is the Chinese phrase and the English phrase don't convey the same meaning. Am I right? If so, what is the exact meaning of the Chinese message? If not, do the Chinese words sound natural or idiomatic to convey the meaning of the English phrase? 提前感谢解释。

好的 means OK/alright/no problem/i understand etc... 受到 means exactly "roger" or "roger that"

You are right, they're totally different. 好的,收到 as you mentioned it was final communication from flight, it should mean "Ok, copy that" or "Ok, roger that", got nothing to do with Goodnight.

""收到""and "goodnight" are totally different meaning , it's likely a translation mistake . Goodnight = 晚安

direct translation of 收到 is "accepted"
