How to Say ‘You're really good at compliments.’ in Simplified Chinese

你真会夸人。

nǐ zhēn huì kuā rén

[nee jen huì kuā ren]

💬 Usage Tip: 会 + verb can mean "be good at", not just "can": 会夸人 "good at complimenting", 很会说话 "has a way with words".

🇨🇳 In China: This is a playful, slightly teasing response. It can mean they're flattered, but also that they suspect you're smooth-talking. It's usually a good sign that the conversation is going well.
