Adverbs
We use the adverbs of degree
十分
and
万分
to indicate the highest degree of something. The adverb 万分 has stronger emotional coloring than 十分.
Pay attention
It is easy to remember because 十 is translated as “10” and 万 as “10,000”.
These adverbs are usually used in written language.
Examples
万分
感谢你把我从死亡中拯救出来
Thank you so much for saving me from death
wànfēn gǎnxiè nǐ bǎ wǒ cóng sǐwáng zhōng zhěngjiùchūlái
十分
感谢你的支持!
Thanks a lot for your support!
shífēn gǎnxiè nǐ de zhīchí
We can only use 万分 with verbs or adjectives denoting
feelings
. The adverb 十分 doesn’t have this type of restriction.
Examples
我
万分
高兴你这么快回我的邮件

wǒ wànfēn gāoxìng nǐ zhème kuài huí wǒ de yóujiàn
天气
