TOP 10 Compliments Russian girls love
Ты Выглядишь Прекрасно!
One of the ways to make a compliment is by commenting on a person’s appearance or skills. Below is formula to help you come up with such compliment:
Ты/вы + adverb + verb 2nd Person Singular or 2nd Person Plural
Let me simplify this a little bit and give you a few examples.
For example:
if you would like to complement someone on how they look in Russian, you can say:
Ты хорошо выглядишь!
TI ha-ra-SHO VIG-lya-deesh You look great!
If you would really like to impress the girl with your knowledge of the Russian language, you can also add:
Впрочем, как всегда to the end of the sentence above.

Instead of хорошо, you can use any of these adverbs:
Хорошо ha-ra-SHO good, nice
Красиво kra-SEE-va beautiful
Отлично at-LEECH-na superb, excellent
Замечательно za-mee-CHA-tyel’-na remarkable, wonderful
