“Your hair looks nice today.”
This is an example of a compliment (赞美). It feels nice when someone notices and praises you for something. But are there cultural differences in making compliments?
Sometimes I receive compliments for things that I don't think I deserve (值得). For example, a taxi driver said “Wow, your Chinese is so good!” even though the only thing I said to him was “Hello, please take me to the airport.” It feels insincere (不真诚的) to make a compliment like this for saying just one simple sentence. However, I know he's just trying to be polite.
It also seems like Chinese people are a bit more humble (谦虚的) when they are praised. They often downplay (低调处理) the compliments. I appreciate this quality, as people like this are usually more honest.
When and where should you give compliments? I try my best to praise people in the service industry. People sometimes complain about the bad service in restaurants, stores and other places. But if I get good service, I make sure to compliment whoever has served me, such as by saying “the food was delicious” or something that. This will encourage them to continue to provide good service to others.
