意思
To emphasize an adjective or adverb, meaning 'very' or 'extremely'.
文化背景
Japanese speakers often use 'totemo' to show politeness and enthusiasm. It is a way to validate the other person's opinion. In business, 'totemo' is acceptable, but 'hijou ni' is preferred for reports to sound more professional. Younger generations prefer 'chou' or 'mecha' to show extreme excitement, making 'totemo' sound slightly more mature or standard. In some dialects, other intensifiers like 'gocu' (Kansai) might be used, but 'totemo' is understood everywhere.
Keep it simple
When in doubt, use 'totemo'. It is almost never wrong in daily conversation.
Negative verbs
Remember: 'Totemo' + positive, 'Amari' + negative.
