意思
Used to describe something aesthetically pleasing.
文化背景
The French often use 'C'est joli' as a polite but non-committal compliment. If they really love something, they might upgrade to 'C'est magnifique'. In Quebec, you might hear 'C'est beau' used more frequently than 'C'est joli' for everyday items, though both are understood. Using 'C'est du joli' is a common way for parents to scold children for making a mess.
The 'C'est' Rule
Always use 'joli' (masculine) after 'C'est', no matter what you are looking at!
Avoid for People
Calling a man 'joli' can sound a bit feminine. Use 'beau' for men and 'jolie' for women.
