What does it mean to praise someone?
Praising is expressing
warm approval or
admiration. Praising is
similar
to complimenting in
so many ways. Both
words are used to
express admiration.
However, for native
speakers, when you
compliment someone,
you might be merely courteous, but when you praise someone, you
genuinely highlight his or her positive aspects.
Example:
"We can't praise him enough—he did a brilliant job."
