| Hi everybody and welcome to norwegianclass101.com, this is Anette and today, we are looking at Top 10 Compliments You Always Want to Hear. That’s awesome. Let’s get started. |
| 1. Du er kjekk. "You're handsome." |
| As you might have guessed, this is not a compliment you’d like to give to a girl. This is exclusively for guys. |
| 2. Du er smart! "You're smart!" |
| I know. Thank you. |
| 3. Du er en fantastisk venn. "You are an awesome friend." |
| And to your best friend, you can say, |
| Du er min beste venn. “You are my best friend.” |
| 4. CV-en din er imponerende. "Your resume is impressive. " |
| Yeah, this is definitely a compliment I would like to hear all the time. |
| 5. Den jakken ser fin ut på deg. "That jacket looks nice on you." |
| Did you buy it in Norway? |
| 6. Du har god smak. "You have good taste." |
| Just like in English, smak can also be used about actual taste or for instance, food. So when you want to say that something tastes good, you can say, |
| Det smaker godt “It tastes good” |
| 7. Smilet ditt er vakkert. "Your smile is beautiful." |
| Such a happy word to know. |
| 8. Du ser praktfull ut. "You look gorgeous." |
| This is quite a dramatic statement. You could for instance just say, |
| Du ser flott ut. “You are looking great.” |
| 9. Den kjoler kler deg veldig godt. "That dress really suits you." |
| Just a fun fact. The word dress means "suit" in Norway. So don’t mix up dress and kjoler. |
| 10. Du er verdens beste kjæreste. "You are the best boyfriend/girlfriend in the whole world." |
| The word kjæreste is a very typical Norwegian word and it actually means dearest. So this is gender neutral. You can use it for both a boyfriend or a girlfriend. That’s pretty practical, isn’t it? |
