how do you casually make "to be" sentences when addressing friends? i struggle with informal copula sentences, and i know you can't just use だ for everything.
for example, how would you convey something like "well, you're a good person" as a simple declaration? would you use the person's name and no copula? would there be a particle?
it's easier for me to form this kind of sentence in formal japanese using です but casual structures always feel a little trickier.
