The modal adverb 绝对
The modal adverb (语气副词) expresses subjective judgment or assurance toward an action.
We use the adverb to make a statement more categorical. We should state it before the predicate, which may be expressed by a verb or an adjective.
Examples
我觉得它绝对精彩!
I think it's absolutely wonderful!
wǒ juéde tā juéduì jīngcǎi
绝对拒绝离婚
He absolutely refuses to get a divorce
tā juéduì jùjué líhūn
Sometimes 绝对 can be stated before a negative particle and reinforce the negation itself. Such a combination translates as “absolutely not”.
Examples
绝对不会骗我
She absolutely will not lie to me
tā juéduì bú huì piàn wǒ
说谎对心灵是绝对没好处的
Lying is definitely not good for the soul
shuōhuǎng duì xīnlíng shì juéduì méi hǎochù de
