very

adjektiivi

  1. erittäin; todella; valtaisa; suuri

    Hän on erittäin lahjakas muusikko.

Mitä tarkoittaa

Sana 'very' on englannin kielessä käytetty vahvistamaan adjektiiveja ja adverbeja, ja se ilmaisee intensiivisyyttä. Se on yksi yleisimmistä adverbien vahvistajista, ja sitä käytetään monissa konteksteissa, erityisesti puhekielessä. Vaikka 'very' on hyödyllinen intensiivisyyden ilmaisija, liiallinen käyttö voi johtaa kielelliseen toisteisuuteen ja heikentää kielen rikkautta. Synonyymejä ovat muun muassa 'extremely', 'really' ja 'quite'.

Molly the dairymaid came a little way from the rickyard, and said she would pluck the pigeon that very night after work. She was always ready to do anything for us boys; and we could never quite make out why they scolded her so for an idle hussy indoors. It seemed so unjust. Looking back, I recollect she had very beautiful brown eyes.
