How to Say ‘You have a nice voice.’ in Japanese
すてきな声ですね。
suteki na koe desu ne
[soo-teh-kee nah koh-eh dess neh]
🇯🇵 In Japan: Complimenting someone's voice can be warm, but with strangers it may feel more personal than praising clothes or accessories. It fits best when you've just heard them sing, speak at an event, or help you in some clear context.
