One way to intensify a sentence is to make it an exclamation. To do this, you can use 多 (duō).

Structure

As well as asking about degree, you can also use 多 (duō) to intensify adjectives.

Examples

你女儿多聪明啊！ Nǐ nǚér duō cōngming a! Your daughter is so smart!
今天天气多舒服！Jīntiān tiānqì duō shūfu! Today's weather is so nice!

多 (duō) can be compared to 很 (hěn) in this case. If you use 很 (hěn) instead of 多 (duō), the meaning is basically the same. However 很 (hěn) is also used to make simple "noun + adjective" sentences, which might not be exclamatory at all, whereas 多 (duō) is used only for excited exclamations.
