How it's used
Functions as an intensifier that elevates an adjective to its absolute peak or limit. It carries a slightly more literary or emphatic weight than common intensifiers like 好 or 極之. It is most frequently paired with positive attributes like 聰明 or 靚， though it can also be used for negative traits to emphasize how extreme they are.
Examples
He is extremely intelligent and learns things very quickly.
This plan is absolutely ridiculous, who would believe it?
Related words
Common phrases
remarkably intelligent
absolutely ridiculous
Common mistake
Avoid using this to describe physical objects or neutral states, as it is reserved for qualities that can be pushed to an extreme degree. It is not a direct substitute for very in every context.
