Praising someone's achievement.
सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
The concept of 'Bella Figura' means that giving and receiving compliments is a vital part of social harmony. It's not seen as 'fake' but as a sign of education and respect. Compliments are often very enthusiastic and may involve physical gestures like a pat on the back or a kiss on both cheeks. It is almost mandatory to say 'Complimenti' to the host after a meal. Not doing so can be seen as a sign that you didn't enjoy the food. In Italian business, 'Complimenti' is used to build 'rapporto' (relationship) before getting down to hard facts. It softens the atmosphere.
The 'Per' Rule
Always remember to use 'per' after complimenti. Complimenti PER la casa, PER il lavoro, PER tutto!
Avoid the Singular
Never just say 'Complimento!'. It sounds like you're halfway through a sentence.
