たしか、上手やな~!
おせじをもらう時、「そんなことない」っていつも言わなくていけ
ないよ。 Every time you receive a compliment by a Japanese, you should always say it, even if you are the best in sports, singing, studying...
You also never say you're good (上手) at something unless you're being sarcastic, k?

@thatjapanesegirl is it also normal for men to downplay compliments or are they supposed to act more confident?

or it's saying you don't need such things (to be said), with the need and you being implied. it's like saying "Oh you didn't have to do that"

Sonnakotonai means "there's no such thing"?

But it means like "Oh, it's really nnothing?" right?

Is そんなことない only for females? Is it ok for males to say it?
