The phrase 很是 (hěn shì) can be used to emphasize what follows.

Structure

The adjective in the pattern is normally two characters, related to a psychological state. Pyschological verbs (also two characters) can be used in place of adjectives.

很是 + Adj.

很是 + (一)个 + Noun Phrase

Examples

This pattern is informal, so it would be strange to use it with rather formal adjectives.

  • 很是喜欢
  • 很是得意
  • 很是期待
  • 很是兴奋
  • 很是生气
