The Chinese word 更加 (gèngjiā) is composed of two characters: 更加 (gèng) and 加 (jiā). The character 更加 (gèng) means "more" or "further", while the character 加 (jiā) means "to add" or "to increase". Together, the two characters 更加 (gèngjiā) mean "even more" or "to an even greater extent".The word 更加 (gèngjiā) is often used to emphasize the degree of something. For example, you could say 更加美丽 (gèngjiā měilì) to mean "even more beautiful" or 更加努力 (gèngjiā nǔlì) to mean "to try even harder".The word 更加 (gèngjiā) can also be used to compare two things. For example, you could say 他更加聪明 (tā gèngjiā cōngmíng) to mean "he is even smarter" or 她更加漂亮 (tā gèngjiā piàoliang) to mean "she is even more beautiful".The word 更加 (gèngjiā) is a versatile word that can be used in a variety of contexts. It is an important word to know for HSK learners, as it is used frequently in both spoken and written Chinese.
