More than just throwing anything you want after two 越s, there are a number of specific patterns you will notice if you want to go beyond using the simpler 越来越.
Contents
Used with Only One Subject
Structure
Subj. + 越 ⋯⋯ 越 ⋯⋯
Examples
- 他 越 跑 越 快 。The more he runs, the faster he gets.
- 雨 越 下 越 大 。The more it rains, the heavier the rain gets.
- 我们 越 想 越 生气 。The more we thinks about it, the angrier we get.
- 我 越 看 越 喜欢 。The more I look at it, the more I like it.
Used with Two Different Subjects
Structure
Subj. 1 + 越 ⋯⋯ ，Subj. 2 + 越 ⋯⋯
Examples
- 她 越 说，我 越 生气 。The more she talks, the angrier I get.
- 你们 越 看 我，我 越 紧张 。The more you look at me, the more nervous I am.
- 我 越 走 ，腿 越 痛 。The more I walk, the more my legs hurt.
The More... The Less..
Structure
越 ⋯⋯ 越 + 不 ⋯⋯
Examples
- 你 越 逼 孩子 学 ，孩子 越 不 想 学 。The more you push the kid to learn, the less he wants to learn.
- 他 越 问 ，我 越 不 想 说。The more he asks, the less I want to tell.
- 你 越 这样 说 ，他 越 不 听 。The more you talk this way, the less he would listen.
This pattern is limited to a small number of single-syllable verbs related to sensory perception, but you do hear it used.
Structure
Subj. + 越 + Verb + 越 + 想 + Verb
Examples
