How it's used
Used primarily to describe viewpoints, behaviors, or weather conditions that deviate significantly from the norm. Unlike some other adjectives, it often carries a negative connotation of being inflexible or unreasonable. It is frequently paired with adverbs like 好 or 咁 to emphasize the intensity of the situation.
Examples
He is very extreme, he never listens to what others say.
Related words
Common mistake
Avoid using this to describe physical size or intensity of simple sensations, as it specifically refers to ideological or behavioral extremes rather than just being very big or very hot.
