Mandarin slang/idiom for "you are silly" = "tai sha le"
My Mandarin tutor said one way to respond (informally) to someone would be to say "tai sha le" which means "your preference is different but lovely". Something my girlfriend would say to me as a response. I am just trying to confirm the pinyin for this phrase.

for this meaning , for romantic relationship
you should say 小傻瓜(for girls) xiao sha gua or 呆子(for boys) , both mean silly persons.
