How do you express "REALLY" as in "alot" in Mandarin?

[SeyzCN]

Like for example in English you would be like I really miss you. How would you express really in Mandarin? Or like I am really hungry. You get the point:mrgreen:.

Thanks in advance

my 5 second-plug-n-chug response is

1)我实在太xxxx

xxxx=想你、饿了、笨了、etc

which is a decent one size fits most format

Otherwise you can use

2)我非常（非常）yyy

yyy=verb such as miss you, angry, let down, but you may NOT be able to plug in as much here...like hungry, etc

Then again the others can chirp and and give their more thoroughly thought out answers:mrgreen:

Thanks

Would that be the same phrase for A LOT as well?

I used "hen3 duo1" while I was in China for "a lot" and I seemed to be understood and nobody laughed at me ;)

[Guoke]

really = 真的，真，好，很...

我真的好想你。

我真傻。

我好饿。

我很想你。

I would have laughed at you if I had heard it.

我很多想你...我很多饿...do sound funny.

really = 真的，真，好，很...

我真的好想你。

我真傻。

我好饿。

我很想你。

Gouke, thanks for your reply. But can you go into a little further detail with that. I am new at reading characters and do not recognize some of them and I do not know their pinyin translations. Thanks

really = 真的，真，好，很...

oh yeah, I think I just skipped over the simple, obvious ones hehe

我很多想你...我很多饿...do sound funny.

Yeah these would be worth a chuckle...but hopefully also a correction:wink:

真的 / 真 = zhēnde / zhēn = really

很 = hěn = very, a lot

好 = hǎo = the same as 很 when used in this way

I'd use 很 before verbs. Using 很 before adjectives is the normal form, and doesn't necessarily carry the strong connotations you're after.
