Just as [https://resources.allsetlearning.com/chinese/grammar/Negative_adjectives_with_%22-si_le%22 死了 (sǐle) can be used to intensify negative adjectives], 极了 (jíle) is a somewhat less common way to intensify both positive and negative adjectives. It is used in spoken, colloquial Chinese. 极 (jí) means &quot;extreme&quot; or &quot;utmost.&quot;
