You first, of course, want to think about sincerity². If you're going to give a compliment, make it sincere. Don't fake it, don't fake admiration³.

 

Also, be specific. For example, "Your dinner was really good". You can actually go more specific than that, "This steak was really well cooked. Thank you," or, "smells really good." Actually, after that, you want to follow that with an action. If you said it was good, eat it, don't just leave it there. This is going to show that you were faking it.

 

Also, it's good to say it in front of people. If you're meeting somebody, you may want to add "and this was my really great cook that I was talking to you about." Adding those compliments make people respected and feel really good about themselves.

 

Also, avoid confusing compliments with envy. It will be really awkward if somebody feels that you're telling it just because you feel envy about it. So just avoid saying that you'd like to have the same of those.
