给力
gěilì
Literally says
to give strength
Actually means
awesome, impressive, it really delivers
When to say it
All-purpose praise for people, teams, food, anything that comes through for you. Safe and warm, works with bosses, friends, and strangers alike. Slightly retro in big cities now, but everyone still understands it and smiles.
Hear it in the wild
