Ever been confused by a seemingly nice Chinese phrase that left you with a weird vibe? You’re not alone! In Chinese high-context communication, polite words are often packed with hidden meanings. A sentence that reads like a compliment might actually be a savage, subtle roast. This episode is your ultimate guide to navigating this linguistic minefield!

Literal English meaning: as expected of you
The real tea: Wow! Only you could pull off something this ridiculous.
你高兴就好(nǐ gāo xìng jiù hǎo)

The real tea: I think this idea is terrible, and I’m done arguing with you.
您真是用心了(nín zhēn shì yòng xīn le)
