good for you
Kudos to you
Good for you is an expression of approval or congratulation when someone has done something positive or achieved something: You finally finished your degree? Good for you!
The tone can range from genuinely supportive to dismissive or sarcastic, depending on delivery—a flat good for you often signals indifference or annoyance rather than praise.
