\u201cMuy grande. Muy guapo. Muy alto.\u201d<\/em> Can you think of an alternative for \u201cmuy\u201d<\/em> in Spanish? If you can\u2019t, don\u2019t worry, this article is perfect for you. By the end of it, you will have enriched your vocabulary and native speakers will be impressed when you talk. Read till the end because I have prepared a fantastic quiz for you to practice what you learned. \u00a1Vamos!<\/p>\n First, let’s explore some synonyms of ‘muy’ that you can use right away. Instead of saying ‘muy interesante’<\/em>, how about ‘sumamente interesante’? <\/p>\n Sumamente <\/em>sounds clever, interesting. It is used a lot by politicians and well educated people. I wouldn\u2019t use it with friends in an informal situation, but save it for other occasions. <\/p>\n Sumamente importante<\/em> (Extremely important).<\/p>\n Bastante interesante <\/em>(Quite interesting). \u2018Bastante\u2019<\/em> has a little less intensity than \u2018muy\u2019, like \u2018quite\u2019 versus \u2018very\u2019. It adds an interesting touch. <\/p>\n Bastante grande <\/em>(Quite big). <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n We use it a lot with friends, especially young people. <\/p>\n S\u00faper interesante <\/em>(Super interesting). <\/em><\/p>\n S\u00faper alto <\/em>(Super tall). <\/em><\/p>\n Exactly the same as \u2018s\u00faper\u2019. <\/p>\n H\u00edper interesante <\/em>(Hyper interesting). H\u00edper cansada <\/em>(Hyper tired). <\/em><\/p>\n Demasiado interesante <\/em>(Too interesting).<\/em> This one adds more intensity. It is more than \u2018muy\u2019. It is too much of something. <\/p>\n Demasiado fr\u00edo <\/em>(Too cold). <\/em><\/p>\n Demasiado guapa <\/em>(Too beautiful). <\/em><\/p>\n Demasiado bueno para ser cierto <\/em>(Too good to be true). <\/em><\/p>\n You have to be careful with this one, because here it is an adverb but we can see it used as an adjective as well, changing gender and number.<\/p>\n Demasiado + adjective = adverb.<\/p>\n Demasiado + noun = adjective. <\/p>\n Demasiada comida <\/em>(Too much food). <\/em><\/p>\n Demasiadas personas <\/em>(Too many people) <\/em><\/p>\n How do you say \u2018Really interesting\u2019? Realmente interesante<\/em> (Really interesting), very good! <\/p>\n \u2018Extremadamente\u2019 <\/em>(Extremely).<\/p>\n Extremadamente interesante<\/em> (Extremely interesting). <\/p>\n Extremadamente importante<\/em> (Extremely important). <\/p>\n This one adds intensity too.<\/p>\n Incre\u00edblemente interesante<\/em> (Incredibly interesting). <\/p>\n Incre\u00edblemente f\u00e1cil<\/em> (Incredibly easy).<\/p>\n Altamente interesante<\/em> (Highly interesting). <\/p>\n You will see it a lot in \u2018Altamente recomendado\u2019 <\/em>(Highly recommended) and \u2018Altamente sensible\u2019<\/em> (Highly sensitive).<\/p>\n If this is too difficult, you should download our Free Study Guide<\/a>, which will guide you step by step in your Spanish learning. <\/p>\n In Latin America they use just \u2018Re\u2019 but as a separate word. <\/p>\n Requetebien <\/em>(Very good).<\/p>\n Re bien<\/em> (Very good).<\/p>\n Requeteinteresante <\/em>(Very interesting).<\/p>\n Re interesante<\/em> (Very interesting). <\/p>\n Start mixing these into your conversations and watch the reactions you get. Tell me how it went.<\/p>\n But that was just the beginning. Hold tight, because next, we\u2019re moving into the world of superlatives, which can amplify your Spanish descriptions. Plus, don\u2019t miss our quiz coming up!<\/p>\n So another way of amplifying an adjective in Spanish is adding -\u00edsimo or -\u00edsima at the end of it.<\/p>\n Guapo<\/em> (Handsome) – Guap\u00edsimo <\/em>(Very handsome)<\/p>\n Guapa <\/em>(Beautiful) – Guap\u00edsima <\/em>(Very beautiful)<\/p>\n Alto<\/em> (Tall, high) – Alt\u00edsimo <\/em>(Very tall\/high)<\/p>\n Peque\u00f1a<\/em> (Small) – Peque\u00f1\u00edsima <\/em>(Very small)<\/p>\n Those were nice upgrades, right? Well, a game-changer is coming! We\u2019re about to boost your vocabulary. These words are fantastic if you want to make an impact. Instead of saying \u2018muy bueno\u2019<\/em>, elevate it to \u2018excelente\u2019<\/em>. Or turn \u2018muy malo\u2019<\/em> into \u2018p\u00e9simo\u2019<\/em> or \u2018horrible\u2019<\/em>. This makes your Spanish advanced.<\/p>\n Instead of \u2018Muy grande\u2019<\/em> (Very big) you can use \u2018Gigante\u2019 <\/em>or \u2018Enorme\u2019<\/em> (Giant, enormous)<\/p>\n Ana vive en una casa gigante<\/em> (Ana lives in an enormous house)<\/p>\n Muy peque\u00f1o<\/em> (Very small) = Diminuto, enano <\/em>(Tiny)<\/p>\n Mi coche es diminuto <\/em>(My car is tiny)<\/p>\n Muy bonito<\/em> (Very pretty) = Precioso <\/em>(Gorgeous)<\/p>\n Las rosas son preciosas <\/em>(Roses are gorgeous)<\/p>\n Muy feo <\/em>(Very ugly) = Horroroso, horrendo<\/em> (Horrendous)<\/p>\n Tu hijo ha hecho un dibujo horroroso<\/em> (Your son made a horrendous drawing)<\/p>\n Muy rico<\/em> (Very yummy) = Delicioso <\/em>(Delicious)<\/p>\n La paella est\u00e1 deliciosa<\/em> (The paella is delicious)<\/p>\n Muy feliz, contento<\/em> (Very happy) = Euf\u00f3rico <\/em>(Euphoric)<\/p>\n Mario est\u00e1 euf\u00f3rico porque ha aprobado<\/em> (Mario is euphoric because he passed)<\/p>\n Muy limpio<\/em> (Very clean) = Impecable <\/em>(Spotless)<\/p>\n El ba\u00f1o est\u00e1 impecable<\/em> (The bathroom is spotless)<\/p>\n Muy sucio<\/em> (Very dirty) = Mugriento, asqueroso<\/em> (Filthy, disgusting)<\/p>\n El cuarto de Samuel est\u00e1 asqueroso<\/em> (Samuel\u2019s room is filthy)<\/p>\n Muy enfadado<\/em> (Very angry) = Furioso <\/em>(Furious)<\/p>\n Estoy furiosa por lo que me ha dicho mi hermana<\/em> (I’m furious about what my sister told me)<\/p>\n Muy cansado<\/em> (Very tired) = Agotado <\/em>(Exhausted)<\/p>\n Hemos andado demasiado, estoy agotada <\/em>(We walked too much, I\u2019m exhausted) <\/p>\n Lastly, I want to share with you some different options for \u2018muy bueno\u2019<\/em>, because there are a lot.<\/p>\n Muy bueno<\/em> (Very good) = Estupendo, maravilloso, genial, fant\u00e1stico, espectacular, magn\u00edfico, excelente.<\/em> <\/p>\n Ayer fue un d\u00eda estupendo\/maravilloso\/genial\/fant\u00e1stico\/espectacular\/magn\u00edfico\/excelente.<\/em><\/p>\n Quiz time!
