得不得了 (de bùdéliǎo) can be used as a complement to suggest a situation is serious, or is likely to result in perhaps terrible consequences. In can be used in a positive sense, like in English when we say "I'm terribly happy".

Some examples:

  • 升职 的 事情 让 他 高兴 得 不得了
  • 嗨,他 跟 老总 的 关系 好 得 不得了,你 一定 要 小心!
  • 他 生气 得 不得了,先 让 他 消消气 再说。
