Sei in forma – you look great, literally ‘you’re in shape’ Stai benissimo! Or Come ti sta bene questo vestito – you look great in this outfit Now on to complimenting someone for their looks and appearance (and you know how much Italians care about their style): If you want to congratulate someone on their graduation, engagement or getting married, a baby’s birth, or similar occasions, you’d use the word congratulazioni – congratulations. Or if they’re saying ‘complimenti’ to you, and you want to say thanks, you’d say, grazie per i complimenti. Complimenti per il lavoro svolto – congratulations on a job well done If you want to compliment someone on their achievements, you can say:īravo/a – or use the superlative, bravissimo/a – good, well doneĮx. After looking at terms of endearment last week, this week we’re going to look at words and phrases to compliment someone in Italian.
