Word origin

说 (shuō, "speak") + 得 (de, "to the extent that") + 好 (hǎo, "well") originally forms a degree complement meaning that someone speaks well, then works on its own as a quick approving remark.

Usage tips

  • In spoken Chinese, intonation can make the remark warm, firm, or sarcastic, so tone and the surrounding response help show whether the approval is sincere.
