It is similar to adding 很 before the adjective，the main difference being that adjective + 得很 is more informal, and adds more emphasis than just 很 + adjective. Note that 在普通话里，能用在“得很”前的形容词、动词不多。</p> <h2>Contents</h2> <div class="contents"><ul><li><span style="font-size: 20px;">1 Structure </span></li> <li><span style="font-size: 20px;">2 Examples </span></li> <li><span style="font-size: 20px;">3 See also </span></li> <li><span style="font-size: 20px;">4 Sources and further reading </span></li> <ul><li><span style="font-size: 20px;">4.1 Books</span></li> </ul> </ul> </div> <h3>Structure</h3> <div class="deux">Adj.+ 得很</div> <h3>Examples</h3> <div class="exemple"><ul><li><span style="font-size: 20px;">你 觉得 不 好吃？我 觉得 好吃 得很。 You don't think it tastes good?
