My MBP dictionary says: 牛逼 adjective offensive, f--king great;  words.chinese-linguipedia says 不雅.  Is there a more neutral one / for (especially older) female users?  I know there are other versions depending on what the situation is.

<p>@dan provide the causal saying of Mandarin, I add the casual saying of Cantonese: 「叻啦你」or「巴閉啦你」. Depends on the scenario, change the 「啦」 to any word that show one's emotion. My version is for sarcasm.</p>

<p><strong>Advanced English Dictionary</strong> defines <em>good for you</em> as:</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>An exclamation of encouragement or congratulation. "You got married? Good for you!"</p>
</blockquote>

<p>It is usually used sarcastically.</p>

<p>ABC’s E-C dictionary translates the phrase as:</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>干得好! </p>
</blockquote>

<p>which doesn't really work because people don't necessarily have needed to done anything to get a nice "good for you."</p>

<p><strong>A Chinese English Dictionary</strong> gives:</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>有你的</p>
</blockquote>

<p><strong>KEY</strong> gives</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>真有你的</p>
</blockquote>

<p>and</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>真有真的</p>
</blockquote>

<p>I have been going with a sarcastic ** 恭喜你啊** but it doesn’t seem to accurately express this idea.</p>

<p>Any ideas?</p>

(Asked by: username_0 on 2017-08-03)

**Advanced English Dictionary** defines *good for you* as:

> An exclamation of encouragement or congratulation. "You got married? Good for you!"

It is usually used sarcastically.

ABC’s E-C dictionary translates the phrase as:

> 干得好!

which doesn't really work because people don't necessarily have needed to done anything to get a nice "good for you."

**A Chinese English Dictionary** gives:

> 有你的

**KEY** gives

> 真有你的

and

> 真有真的

I have been going with a sarcastic \*\* 恭喜你啊\*\* but it doesn’t seem to accurately express this idea.

Any ideas?
