HSK 3 Adverbs
特别
Especially with 特别
Structure 特别 + adjective / Verb
特别 (tèbié) before an adjective means "especially / particularly": 今天特别冷 = "it’s especially cold today". It’s more emphatic than 很. It also means "special" as an adjective and, with 是, "above all" (特别是…). It goes before what it intensifies.
