The view from the top
- You reach the top of a mountain and the whole city lies below you.
- here这儿(modifier / structural particle)的scenery风景how多beautiful美(exclamation)啊！ — "How beautiful the view is here!"
how多 + Adjective + (exclamation)啊！
- how多 + Adj + (exclamation)啊 is an exclamation: "How … !" how多 goes before the adjective and (exclamation)啊 closes the sentence.
- The adjective stands alone: how多good好(exclamation)啊, how多rapid快(exclamation)啊, how多cute可爱(exclamation)啊.
your你的daughter女儿how多cute可爱啊！
Exclaim: “How nice the weather is!” 天气____好啊！

Verb + 得 + 多 + Adj + 啊.
Exclaim, do not ask
- No degree / adjective linker很 inside: how多beautiful美(exclamation)啊, not how多degree / adjective linker很beautiful美(exclamation)啊; how多 already carries the degree.
- Keep (exclamation)啊 and the exclamation mark. Without them, how多 + Adj often becomes a question: how多to distance oneself from…远？ — "How far is it?"

Without 啊 and the exclamation mark, 多大？ asks “How big is it?”
多很漂亮啊！ is correct.

多 already gives the degree, so the adjective stays bare: 多漂亮啊！
how多…(exclamation)啊 versus too太…(completed / change)了
- too太 + Adj + (completed / change)了 also reacts strongly: too太beautiful美(completed / change)了！ It is common and often means "too": too太expensive贵(completed / change)了.
- how多 + Adj + (exclamation)啊 is warmer and more admiring; it suits praise and wonder.
this这(measure word)件clothes衣服too太expensive贵了！
Recap
- how多 + Adj + (exclamation)啊！ = How … ! An exclamation of admiration or strong feeling.
- Bare adjective, no degree / adjective linker很; without (exclamation)啊 and "！", how多 + Adj can be a question about amount.

You reach the top of a mountain and the whole city lies below you. Close the examples. Say a Mandarin response, then write it in Chinese. Explain briefly in English what the lesson’s pattern adds. Compare with the model, then change one detail and try again.
This is supported productive practice. Compare meaning and structure; your answer need not copy the model. A partner or teacher must hear the spoken response to comment on pronunciation.
