So, here is a silly question, but I am wondering how you have conveyed "you ROCK" in Chinese? I
have a bunch of nice little "standard bookish" things to say (tai hao le, feichang, bang, ..jile,
etc), but I can't think of a term that might convey all that "you ROCK" (the student's upper case)
in Chinese. Just wondering what kinds of things people might be saying for this.

你真棒！

你盖了帽儿！










bhchao -

You can say 你太屌了!

My elementary classmates and I said it all the time at school in Taiwan.










imron -

你真牛！

Note that "牛" and "屌" might be considered profanity by some. They are also often used to used
to refer to someone with guanxi rather than ability.

Except "你真棒！" , I suspect not all the expressions provided are understood by everyone
(well I haven't heard of "你盖了帽儿" ). Am I right?

There are different expressions to convey “you rock” in different places of China, so I
couldn’t agree more with skylee that not all the expressions provided are understood by
everyone. But the following ones I think can be commonly understandable to our Chinese.

A. 你真棒！OR 你太棒了！
B. 你真厉害！OR 你太厉害了！
C. 你真牛！OR 你太牛了！

Here “真” and “太” are an adverb, “真” means really, truly, or indeed. While
“太” means very.

Where in Beijing, people like to use “牛逼” or “强” in their daily oral communications
instead of “棒”, “厉害”, and “牛”.

These expressions can be used in a very informal occasion where to praise some one who is giving
his or her friends a surprise as achieving something unusual or significant. But, “牛逼” is
a hot phrase used by Beijing guys. It is impolite or kinds of rude for a guy to say “牛逼”
to a girl.

Yeah, most of these are 方言

盖了帽儿了 is 北京话
吊 is from 台湾

Would 棒 and 牛 be understood by most Mandarin speakers? Do they have 方言 origin?

棒 would definitely be understood but I don't know about 牛
