How to Say ‘You are very kind.’ in Traditional Chinese
你很有善。
nǐ hěn yǒu shàn
[nǐ hěn yǒu shàn]
💬 Usage Tip: [有善] is not the usual way to say "kind" here; the common compliment is [友善], as in [你很友善]. For strangers in Taiwan, [你人真好] is also a very natural way to praise someone as kind.
🇹🇼 In Taiwan: If you want to sound natural, avoid this exact wording and use [友善] or [人真好] instead. Those sound much more like something a local would actually say.
