How to Say ‘I think your jacket looks great.’ in Traditional Chinese

我覺得你的外套很好看

wǒ jué dé nǐ de wài tào hěn hǎo kàn

[wo jué de nǐ de why-tao hen how-kahn]

💬 Usage Tip: No 是 is needed before 很好看, because the description stands on its own. Swap in another item to compliment something else, for example 你的鞋子很好看 "your shoes look great".

🇹🇼 In Taiwan: Starting with 我覺得 "I think" makes the compliment feel personal and low-pressure. That's a comfortable way to open with a stranger in Taiwan.
