- <h1>Intensifying with "<span class="pinyinst">duō</span>" "<span class="hanzist">多</span>"</h1>
- <p>One way to intensify a sentence is to make it an exclamation. To do this, you can use <span class="hanzi">多</span> (<span class="pinyin">duō</span>).</p>
- <h2 id="structure">Structure</h2>
- <p>As well as asking about degree, you can also use <span class="hanzi">多</span> (<span class="pinyin">duō</span>) to intensify adjectives.</p>

- <div class="exemple">
- <ul>
- <li><span class="hanzi">一个人 <span class="fondjaune">多</span> 好！</span> <br/><span class="pinyin">Yīgèrén <span class="fondjaune">duō</span> hǎo!</span><br/> It's so nice being alone!</li>

- <li><span class="hanzi">今天 天气 <span class="fondjaune">多</span> 舒服 ！</span><br/><span class="pinyin">Jīntiān tiānqì <span class="fondjaune">duō</span> shūfu!</span> <br/>Today's weather is so nice!</li>
- <li><span class="hanzi">你 看 这 个 地方 ，<span class="fondjaune">多</span> 美 啊！</span><br/><span class="pinyin">Nǐ kàn zhège dìfang, <span class="fondjaune">duō</span> měi a!</span><br/> Look at this place, it is so beautiful!</li>

- <li><span class="hanzi">你 看 这 个 小狗， <span class="fondjaune">多</span> 可爱！</span><br/><span class="pinyin">Nǐ kàn zhège xiǎogǒu, <span class="fondjaune">duō</span> kě'ài!</span> <br/>Look at this puppy! It is so cute!</li>
- <li><span class="hanzi">这样 做 <span class="fondjaune">多</span> 麻烦！</span><br/><span class="pinyin">Zhèyàng zuò <span class="fondjaune">duō</span> máfan!</span> <br/>Doing it this way is so troublesome!</li>

- </ul>
- </div>
- <p><span class="hanzi">多</span> (<span class="pinyin">duō</span>) can be compared to <span class="hanzi">很</span> (<span class="pinyin">hěn</span>) in this case. If you use <span class="hanzi">很</span> (<span class="pinyin">hěn</span>) instead of <span class="hanzi">多</span> (<span class="pinyin">duō</span>), the meaning is basically the same. However <span class="hanzi">很</span> (<span class="pinyin">hěn</span>) is also used to make simple "noun + adjective" sentences, which might not be exclamatory at all, whereas <span class="hanzi">多</span> (<span class="pinyin">duō</span>) is used only for excited exclamations.</p>
