Even more with 更 and 还

Structure 更 / 还 + adjective

更 (gèng) means "even more" and reinforces a comparison already taken for granted: 我高，他更高 ("I’m tall; he’s even taller"). It can pair with 比: 他比我更高. 还 (hái) before an adjective has a similar, often more expressive, nuance. Unlike 很, these really do mean "more".

Examples

这zhè个ge更gèng好hǎo。
This one is even better.
他tā比bǐ我wǒ更gèng忙máng。
He’s even busier than me.
明míng天tiān会huì更gèng冷lěng。
It will be even colder tomorrow.

Levels are indicative: they follow the standard Chinese Grammar Wiki (AllSet Learning) progression, not an official HSK 3.0 mapping. We never assign levels by eye.
