💡 Cultural Insight: Indirect Compliments via Family Members

In Chinese social interactions, praising someone's spouse as 'lucky' (e.g., having 'koufu' or culinary luck) is a charming, indirect way to compliment the person's domestic skills and devotion.

💡 Cultural Insight: Kinship Terms for Non-Relatives (嫂 - Sao)

Addressing a friend's or colleague's wife as 'Surname + Sao' (Sister-in-law) shows warmth, respect, and familial closeness even among non-relatives.
