it to express compliments, by saying “what” or “what a”
followed by a noun phrase.

- What a beautiful dress! (singular noun)

- What beautiful costumes! (plural noun)
 Cultural Awareness

 In English-speaking countries, people tend to express

compliments more than we do in Indonesia.
 To accept a compliment, we should said “Thank you.”
Example: A: You look pretty in your new dress.
B: Thank you.

 Indonesians tend to refuse compliments.

Example: A: Baju yang kamu kenakan sangat bagus.
B: Tidak! Baju ini sudah lama.
