Like, it's a question, but it's there's so much behind that when you make my birthday cake would give that to me.

So maybe after you could use this after a meal, for example.

I love your cooking, and the other person will be like, Great job, great job.

This is a compliment that you can use any time you can use, uh, to your with your friend with your Not with your boss.

You have a way with words, or you could say you're good with words that you're really good with words.

Yeah, all right.

Next one.

You look gorgeous.

You look gorgeous.

Very nice compliment to give.

Just be very careful with the way that you say this for an everyday compliment.

I tend not to say you look nice or you look gorgeous today or something like that, because the underlying comment there is on the other days that person doesn't look nice like, so if I want to compliment someone's appearance, I try to pick a specific thing like, Oh, I've never seen you wear that sweater before it looks nice on you.

Something like that.

Like, yesterday my friend had a new dress on and like, is that a new dress?

And because I thought she looked nice, but I didn't I didn't want to make it sound like I don't think she looks nice every day.

So I said, Is that a new dress?

And she goes, Yeah, I said, I think that color is really, really nice on you.

It looks really good.

And she was so happy about that.

So yes, there.

There are these compliments.

Like, you look nice.

You look great.

You look gorgeous and so on, but I personally kind of preferred tow.

Level them up a little bit and just say, pick a specific thing like, did you get a new haircut?

Did you dye your hair or you Did you get something?

Did something happen?

Like, look, whatever it is trying to pick up on a specific thing, because then that shows you're paying attention to the other person.

And you think that whatever they have chosen to do whatever, like clothing or whatever haircut, whatever it is, you think that they have good sense there, too, or good style.

So it's kind of like a double.

That's a very subtle double compliment.

Yeah, you have good taste.

You have good taste.

This can be for ah, food.

Ah, fashion style for decorating sense music in movies, Whatever.

If you think that that person's artistic selection in in whatever capacity if you think that that person makes good choices with, ah, there their appearance or their hobbies or whatever you can say, you have good taste.

This is a fairly sophisticated compliment.

I think we use You have good taste for something like it's it sounds a bit more sophisticated.

Maybe if you both choose the same bottle of wine.

Perhaps like it.

It has kind of a more formal, adult ish, sophisticated feeling about it.

This compliment.

So, yeah, maybe maybe wine is a good example of that.

Yeah.

Oh, nice bottle choice.

Like I really like that.

You have good taste.

You can follow this.

By the way, you have good taste in blah, blah, blah.

Ah, you have good taste in movies.

You have good taste in music.

If you want to be specific about something that you think that person is really good at choosing.

You have good taste in now.

You have a great sense of humor.

You have a great sense of humor.

This is the This is the underlying compliment in the phrase You are so funny.

This is the underlying compliment.

You have a great sense of humor.

Means the other person thinks you're funny, that you are good at telling jokes or you make them laugh.

This is actually one of my favorite compliments to get.

You have a great sense of humor.

Um, yeah, because e think that, like, you know, people like to laugh, so it's.

And if someone makes you laugh, you can say this.

You have a great sense of humor or you're very funny.

Yeah, it's a good one.

It's a really good one.

Um, so you could say after a joke, for example, or after, Maybe you've you've finished laughing at something the other person has said.

You can say, Oh, you have a great sense of humor.

Good.

Next one is your resume is impressive.

This is a weird compliment to say to your friends, unless you're like reviewing your friends resumes a bit weird.

This is something that perhaps someone interviewing another person for a job would say the candidate comes in for the interview.

The interviewer says While your resume is very impressive, I'd like to ask you a few questions about it.

Yeah s Oh, this is good to hear in a work situation.

Yeah, You really probably won't need to use this with your friends.

You make me want to be a better person.

This is something that I think you see in movies from time to time.

Yeah, I've had I had one person say Like like, uh oh, that something you did inspired me.

And that was like, really how that was really exciting.

Like somebody was inspired by something like, Wow, that's great.

I want to be like you.

That's a really cool compliment.

But if someone says you want to make me be a better person, it's like, Oh, wow, like that means I'm really important to that person, which is really flattering.

But at the same time, if someone said that, I would also be like if it's like my friend, I would be like, but I I want you to be you like I think you're cool person already.

Yeah.

It's like, Oh, you make me want to be a better person.

Like in that person viewpoint.

You're like, somehow above them.

And that's uncomfortable.
