The complement 得很 (dehěn) is used after adjectives to add intensity. It is similar to adding 很 before the adjective,the main difference being that adjective + 得很 is more informal, and adds more emphasis than just 很 + adjective.

Structure

Adjective + 得 很

Examples

  • 他 懒 得 很,听说 他 每天 11点 钟 才 起床。
  • 不 用 害怕,这次 考试 简单 得 很
  • 这 道 菜 香 得 很,你 到底 放 了 什么 调料?
