Expressing “Even More” with “gèngjiā”
更加
How it works
更加 (gèngjiā) means “even more,” “all the more,” or “to an even greater degree.” It is similar to 更 (gèng), but it usually sounds more formal, more complete, and more suitable for written or careful spoken Chinese.
It is often used when the speaker wants to show that one quality, feeling, or situation becomes stronger compared with before.
