- In English there are two kinds of adjectives , normal adjectives and extreme adjectives . You can use very with normal adjective and can even use as many as you like to emphasize . But you cannot use very with extreme adjectives . Example 1: hungry (Normal) vs starving (Extreme) . Someone who hasn't eaten would be hungry . Someone w ho hasn't eaten for longer would be very hungry . Someone who hasn't eaten for even longer would be very very hungry etc etc . But someone who is about to die of hunger would be starving . (You can't get more hungry than this, therefore you can't use very .) More Examples : Pretty , very pretty , very very pretty etc etc gorgeous . You can't get any prettier than this so you can't say very gorgeous . Clean , very clean , very very clean etc etc spotless . You can't say very spotless . Normal adjectives (you can use very with these): tired , good , dirty , pretty , ugly , small , surprising , clean , funny , big , angry , hot , cold , old , hungry . Extreme adjectives (you can't use very with these): exhausted , fantastic , filthy , gorgeous , hideous , tiny , astounding , spotless , hilarious , huge , furious , boiling , freezing , ancient , starving . On a final note , "very" is not the only word that must follow these rules . Also words like : quite , rather , relatively , extremely , comparatively . These words can only go before Normal adjectives . :)0 votedJuly 11, 20130
- Haha , this is an interesting question . It made me laugh when SonGoku said that he/she doesn't understand the difference in English . Anyway I would say 我正在想你 , for "I am thinking about you" . But I could be wrong . Can a Chinese person please tell us how you would translate 我正在想你 to English ? Is it "I am thinking about you." or is it also "I miss you ."0 votedJuly 11, 20131
