すごいですね。
Sugoi desu ne.
That’s impressive.
- Word for word
- “Amazing, isn’t it?”
- Politeness: Polite
- です/ます style. The safe default with strangers, shop staff and colleagues.
- When you would say it
- Praising a colleague or a stranger.
- Worth knowing
- Use with a superior carefully. Praising from above can sound patronising; 素晴らしいですね is safer.
