Complimenting

Assalamualaikum
Hi everyone, I'm back on the blog, thanks for dropping by hehehe... I'm on the fifth blog this time discussing "Compliments" what do compliments talk about, let's just take a look at my explanation below .

A. Definition Complimenting
•Compliment is an expression to praise someone for someone's achievement, appearance, performance or personality

This expression is positive: because by praising someone, not only you who feel proud or happy but the person who gets the compliment will feel happy too. Positively, what is praised will continue to be maintained or even improved for the better.

C.How to Give Praise

•The first way to express a compliment is to be specific.

Example: you praise someone's discipline while attending a meeting, then that person will continue to maintain his discipline while attending the meeting. So, praise compliments in detail.

 •The second way is don't overdo it.

Giving too many compliments can give the impression of being insincere or careless. Just praise one or two things, don't overdo it.

•The third way to express compliments is to use the right intonation.

With a smile, your intonation will automatically increase naturally which shows that you are enthusiastic when giving the compliment. So, the intonation of the tone also needs to be considered when giving a compliment.
