Yes, there is a difference.
The first spelling with the letter i means to praise. See the letter i in compliment. Think of the letter i in praise.
A complementary item completes the pair or set. Think of the letter e in both complementary and complete.
I teach English. Home tutor. English O level, A level, GCSE.
Nowadays you only get five marks out of a hundred for spelling. But I've had parents upset because their offspring were one mark below the next grade. Mother wails, 'Why couldn't they have given her an extra mark!'
Because correct spelling makes the difference between a piece of work which is middling and so-so and the one which stands out as top grade above the average.
The other spelling complement means two things match, like yin and yan, like icing on a cake. Like accessories on clothing in contrasting colours.
Complimentary means free. You can look them up in a dictionary. That will give you a more accurate translation. Mine will do for now to get you started.
Compliments please. They would complement this article.
