compliments

A compliment is something nice someone says about you or your work.

When people give compliments, they usually mean it as a kind way of saying "you did great" or "I really like that." You might hear them at a party when someone admires your outfit, or in a meeting when a coworker praises your project. Even on social media, you can get compliments on photos and posts. But remember, a compliment is meant to be genuine - people usually give them because they genuinely appreciate something about the other person or their work.
