The kind host refilling your tea for the twenty-fourth time is indeed generous, but for those of us with TB (tiny bladder), we just might need to learn to tell them when to quit. Listen to this podcast, and learn to graciously decline another cup in Mandarin Chinese. Either that, or just sip slower.

Hi chris
You can say 真的很漂亮 and 真的非常漂亮, for example. “真的” works as "really" in English, so 真的非常漂亮 means "really very beautiful".
Hi chris
I don't think that 真很漂亮 and 真非常漂亮 are natural Chinese. I don't know why, but perhaps two consecutive (similar) adverbs, 真+很 (or 真+非常), make it sound unnatural, and this might be the reason that "的" is inserted between them, like 真的很漂亮 and 真的非常漂亮.
