很 + adjective (describing things) — Chinese grammar (HSK 1)

Subject + 很 + Adjective

Chinese adjectives work like verbs, so you do not need 是 before them. Instead a plain statement uses 很 (hěn) between the subject and the adjective. In this position 很 barely means "very"; it simply makes the sentence sound complete and neutral.

Examples

我很高兴。 Wǒ hěn gāoxìng.	I am happy.
今天天气很好。 Jīntiān tiānqì hěn hǎo.	The weather is nice today.
她很漂亮。 Tā hěn piàoliang.	She is pretty.

Tip: Never say 我是高兴; drop 是 and say 我很高兴.
