So the tone doesn’t change at all when recieving a compliment? You still say it as two third tones together?

Yes, you’re right, the tones doesn’t change. But you don’t say it like asking a question, like ‘where are you?’. You should say it very humbly.

One of the things that fascinates me with Chinese people is how modest they are. This is a very, very common response to any compliment you pay. Great lesson!
