Compliments express approval, and their main purpose is to show that you like some aspect of the other person’s appearance, belongings, or work. This reassures the other person that his or her taste, appearance, etc., is appreciated by other people.
Some people use compliments to “butter up” (льстить) somebody, or to flatter in order to increase goodwill. Therefore, overuse of compliments might seem insincere.
You may compliment anyone you have occasion to talk with. It may be a close friend or someone you have just met. And in certain cases you can compliment a stranger in order to get some information:
You: Excuse me, but I was admiring your new bag. It’s really nice.
Stranger: Oh, thank you.
You: Would you mind telling me where you got it? I’ve been looking for one like that for a long time.
Stranger: It’s from that luggage store down on York Avenue.
You: Oh, thank you very much.
Usually you compliment someone if you notice something new about the person’s appearance: new eyeglasses, a new haircut, an article of clothing, or a piece of jewelry. You may also compliment a person on his or her general appearance: “Gee, you look good today” or “You’re looking trim (нарядный, элегантный) these days.” It is customary to compliment a person on a recently purchased item: “Hey, I really like your new car” or “That new dress is a gorgeous shade of blue.”
When you visit someone’s house for the first time, you can give a general compliment, such as “What a beautiful house you have.” Or if you know the house and you notice some new furniture or a redecorated room, you can complement the person on the new items.
When hosts prepare a meal for you, or even just snack food at a party, they like to hear that you appreciate the food. You do not need to compliment each dish separately, but you can give a general compliment, followed by a specific one: “Meal was delicious, especially the lamb.”
In many cultures it is considered inappropriate to compliment babies, but in the USA it is common: “What a cute baby!”
There are two ways to give a compliment: by saying something nice about the object, by asking how the person made it or where it was bought (but not how much it cost), or by asking for another look or another serving, if it is food.
There are two basic ways of replying to compliments: accepting them and rejecting them. In most cases, it is best to accept the compliment. To do this, you can either thank the person and explain something about the thing being compliment, or you can return the compliment by giving the other person a similar compliment. When accepting the compliment, the dialogue might go like this;
Al: That’ a beautiful dress you have on!
Kate: Oh, thank you. I just got it yesterday.
When returning the compliment, it might go like this:
Alice: I just love your hair that way! Did you do it yourself?
Juanita: Oh, thanks. Yes, I did. Isn’t it yours a new cut, too?
Alice: Yes, it is. Thanks.
In certain cases, you may accept the compliment but deny what the person has said to compliment you. Some people do this to appear modest:
Friend: That was a great dinner. You must have spent all day cooking.
You: Thanks. But it really only took an hour.
Friend: Wow, this is really a nice place!
You: Aw, thanks, but it’s really nothing great.
