 | How to say some compliments to a Chinese people? Usually, we Chinese don't express our feelings directly in the public. But if you are good friends, you may say so. e.g. You are so kind. = 你真好(Ni 3 Zhen 1 Hao 3). 好(Hao 3) is a widely used character. We can use it to describe someone, also something. We can also say 你太好了(Ni 3 Tai 4 Hao 3 Le). 太****了 means Very, extremely. |
