The Chinese word 格外 (gèwài) is composed of two characters: 格 (gé) and 外 (wài). 格 means "frame" or "pattern", while 外 means "outside" or "beyond". Together, 格外 means "extraordinary" or "exceptional".The word 格外 is often used to describe something that is beyond the ordinary or expected. For example, you could say 格外漂亮 (gèwài piàoliang) to describe someone who is exceptionally beautiful, or 格外好吃 (gèwài hǎochī) to describe food that is especially delicious.格外的 can also be used to mean "especially" or "particularly". For example, you could say 格外注意 (gèwài zhùyì) to mean "pay special attention", or 格外小心 (gèwài xiǎoxīn) to mean "be especially careful".The word 格外 is a versatile word that can be used in a variety of contexts. It is a useful word to know for HSK learners who want to be able to express themselves more precisely in Chinese.
