Keywords
The complement -得很 (dehěn) is used after adjectives to add intensity. Although less common in everyday speech, meaning-wise it is quite similar to adding 很 before the adjective. The main difference is that "adjective + 得很" is more informal, and adds stronger emphasis than just "很 + adjective."

Adj. + 得很
