How it's used

While 好感 is a valid noun for a favourable feeling, native speakers often prefer using the phrase 印象好 to describe the state of having a good impression. Using 好感 in a sentence can sometimes sound slightly more formal or literary than the more common colloquial structures. It is frequently used in the context of romantic interest or initial professional assessments.

Examples

Common phrases

jau5有hou2好gam2感

to have a good impression

bei2俾jan4人hou2好gam2感

to leave a good impression on someone

Common mistake

Learners often try to use 好感 as a verb, but it is strictly a noun. You cannot say 我好感佢 to mean I have a good impression of him; instead, you must use a structure like 我對佢有幾多好感 or 我對佢印象唔錯.
