How to Say ‘You have very kind eyes.’ in Portuguese
Tem uns olhos muito simpáticos.
tayng oonsh OH-lyoosh MWEE-too seem-PAH-tee-koosh
[tayng oonsh OH-lyoosh MWEE-too seem-PAH-tee-koosh]
💬 Usage Tip: [uns] here doesn't mean a precise number; it softens the phrase, more like "such" or "some really." You'll hear the same in compliments like [tem um sorriso tão bonito] or [tem uns sapatos lindos].
🇵🇹 In Portugal: This is warm, but complimenting someone's eyes is quite personal for a stranger. It can sound charming in the right moment, but it's less neutral than praising clothing or style.
