格外

• 拼音: gé wài
• 汉字拆解: 格 = 木 (wood) + 各 (each) — a standard or pattern; 外 = 夕 (evening) + 卜 — outside, beyond the norm

含义

Especially; exceptionally; more than usual. An adverb indicating something exceeds the normal degree.

Used to emphasise that a quality or state is notably beyond what is typical. Often interchangeable with 特别 or 尤其, but carries a slightly more literary flavour. Commonly modifies adjectives: 格外高兴 (especially happy), 格外安静 (unusually quiet).

例句

1. 今天的天气格外好。
2. 考试前一天，他格外紧张。
