Bedeutung
Used to intensify an adjective or adverb.
Kultureller Hintergrund
In France, 'très' is often used in the phrase 'très bien' not just to mean 'very well', but as a filler word similar to 'okay' or 'alright' to signal the end of a conversation topic. While 'très' is used in Quebec, you might also hear 'bien' used as an intensifier in a similar way (e.g., 'C'est bien bon' for 'C'est très bon'). In some African French varieties, 'très' might be repeated for extra emphasis (très, très bon), though this is common in France as well.
The Liaison Rule
Always remember to pronounce the 's' as a 'z' if the next word starts with a vowel. It makes you sound much more native!
No 'Très Beaucoup'
Never say 'très beaucoup'. It's a common mistake. Just say 'beaucoup' or 'énormément'.
