你好 in contexts other than "Hello"
I've seen 你好 in contexts other than hello for some time now. Even though I know the direct translation (you good) I still have trouble understanding its use in some contexts. For example, "你好奇怪了“.

In this sentence 好 has the same meaning as 很 (very).

你好..."好" is an adjective, which means good.
你好奇怪... "好" is an adverb, which means very.
For example, "pretty" in "you are pretty" is different from "pretty" in "you are pretty good".

The sentence should be 你/好/奇怪了, where "好" is an adverb here and means "very". Depending on different tone, the phrase can actually means "Why are you so wired?"
It would make more sense if it is just "你/好+adj"(without "了"). For example, "你好帅" means "you are very handsome.╮(╯_╰)╭
So in general, "你好" as a phrase just means hello, but when they are in one sentence "好(hao3)" can be adverb. Or even verb when it pronounce "hao4", means "like" or "eager".
Or it may be Auxiliary Verb.
There is so other phrases like "你好走" means "goodbye", and may be used in relatively formal occasion.
