How it's used
Focuses on the degree of completeness or certainty, often used to emphasize that something is exactly as described. It frequently appears in idiomatic expressions describing states of being, such as having full confidence or being completely prepared. It carries a slightly more emphatic tone than simply saying 好多 or 完全.
Examples
He is full of energy at work today.
