🎙 Tired of saying “漂亮” for everything?
We get it—“漂亮” is useful, but let’s be honest, using it for sunsets, dogs, cakes and TV shows? It gets old fast.
In this episode of eChineseLearningPod, Eric and Ruby explore five better, more natural ways to say “It’s beautiful!” in Chinese—so your compliments sound more expressive and native-like.
💬 Instead of only “漂亮”, try these:
✔️ 好漂亮！ – “So pretty!” (great for scenery, shoes, cute pets)
✔️ 太美了！ – “Absolutely beautiful!” (for dramatic moments like mountain views)
✔️ 真不错！ – “Really nice!” (perfect for home decor, subtle praise)
✔️ 好看！ – “Looks good!” (use for outfits, movies, or even lunch pics)
✔️ 太棒了！ – “Awesome!” (when something truly impresses you)
You’ll hear when to use each one, how they feel emotionally, and why compliments like “真不错” can mean more in Mandarin than they do in English.
🎧 Tune in for the full breakdown—and next time you see a cute dog in a sweater, you’ll know exactly what to say.
