大加 (dà jiā) — greatly, profusely, severely, strongly (used before verbs of praise, criticism, or reform)

Definition

A formal written adverb meaning 'greatly, thoroughly' that intensifies verbs of praise, criticism, or reform (大加赞赏, 大加批评). It is more literary and stronger than ordinary 非常, and reads more like a fixed intensifier than a free adverb.
