How to give COMPLIMENTS

Hello and welcome back to English with Lucy.

I’m with Anna today, from English like a native. Hi, my name is Anna and some of you might know me from English like a native, which is kind of similar, but not as glamorous as Lucy’s channel. Hi, it’s pretty loud definitely check out Anna’s channel. She makes some fantastic views all about the English language and if you like this channel I’m sure you will really like her.

So, today we are going to be talking about how to give compliments. We are filming two videos, the first one is here on my channel and the second one will be on happens online channel.

Yeah, you can go straight to her channel as soon as you finish this one. Here we’re going to be talking about things that you should say, and then we’re going to talk about things that you shouldn’t say. When you’re complimenting someone for both a very important video. So, stay tuned. okay, so, firstly let’s talk about some adjectives that we can use to compliment people or them compliment the way they look exactly.

So, the first one is pretty, you’re very pretty. Some of you are tea and pretty should be used generally towards women. If you want to compliment a man on the other hand you, can use handsome. I know lots of handsome men. I don’t know any maybe you could introduce me, oh, so another word you can use to compliment a man or a woman, would be beautiful. Yes that can go for both. come here, I don’t know.

So, really nice word and then we have gorgeous. And gorgeous just means us. So, attractive. So, if someone is gorgeous it means they are really, really nice and then we have stunning. So, if someone stuns you with how beautiful they are, then you would call them stunning and then the last one breath taking. So, they take your breath away with their beauty they are just so amazing, I can’t breathe. you’re so handsome. One thing that I often hear my students use incorrectly, is you look and you look like I would say you look plus adjective and you look like plus.

Now, so I might say you look like Angelina Jolie. Funny you should say that or Ana you look beautiful or you look stunning. So, make sure that you’re very careful when differentiating between you look and you look like. So, now we’re going to give some examples of some nice ways of complimenting. People something that I would think is nice is noticing a change.

And so, if someone’s made an extra effort with what they’re wearing yet or the hair. yep, it’s nice to say something about it or if they’ve had their teeth whitened perhaps, wow, my teeth. Okay, so, an example would be Anna what you’ve done with your hair. Oh I just had it cut. thank you, so much nice noticing I love that top, is that you thank you is it really brings out the color of your eyes ah so it’s good to compliment the eyes when in doubt talk about the eye, you could also talk about something that’s not related to the way they look. yeah, it’s always really nice to compliment the way a person is. I appreciate compliments about personality, more than I do that looks sassy.

So, if I were to say maybe Anna I find you really easy to be around or I find you really funny I think that’s a much nicer compliment than just you look nice. Yeah, definitely I think I would definitely hold onto a compliment like that. Then someone to say you look pretty it’s really nice when someone says something that they’ve obviously spend some time thinking about or something that’s very specific like. I really like that on your face, when you smile. no, I like you like that we really like your dimples.

Okay, so, those were some helpful tips on how to comment people in English. Remember it’s very important to differentiate between you look and you look like. Remember Anna looks beautiful and she looks like a potato. Hahahaha, sorry, she look like Cantonese. But, you’re making make sure you use the correct adjective, be careful when calling men pretty and women handsome. They might get offended you should generally call women pretty and men handsome another thing is to try and be specific people will always appreciate a specific comment more than a generic comment definitely yeah. Try and make an effort to compliment things, other than just appearance normally people are much more fluttered by a compliment about something, they’ve done or their personality rather than their appearance. yeah, or something they’ve chosen something may have an effect on. okay, so that’s it for today. now, you need to head over to Ana’s channel. To watch the second part of this video. Which is very important. it’s about what not to say, when you’re trying to compliment someone. So, if you don’t want to offend us you need to watch that video.
