Your eyes are very beautiful

[lautaro]

Hello, I have a doubt for this sentences:
Your eyes are very beautiful
Do I have to use 得 in this case? I mean 你的眼睛很漂亮 or 你的眼睛很得漂亮?

thank you

Hello. We say either 你的眼睛很漂亮 or 你的眼睛長得很漂亮

 

[sunnyjay]

你的眼睛很漂亮 is nice.

Sounds like 眼睛長得很漂亮 is natural born, whereas 眼睛很漂亮 can be either natural or artificial.

Lautaro, I wonder if you were thinking of something like
你的眼睛漂亮得很

I have seen and heard that structure (adj.+得很) for emphasis, although is sounds to me a little "heavy / extreme" to use this with 漂亮... But then again, I am not a native speaker.


In theory, the "entry level" would be
你的眼睛漂亮 --> your eyes are pretty
But we seem to often add a 很 without actually meaning "very", just because is "sounds more balanced"
你的眼睛很漂亮 --> your eyes are (very) pretty
Then if you really mean "very", you can:
- either put the emphasis on 很 when you say the sentence (possibly with a nod of the head on the last three characters to go with it)
你的眼睛很漂亮! --> your eyes are very pretty!
- or dismiss any doubt with 真的
你的眼睛真的很漂亮! --> your eyes are really (very) pretty!

Ast least, that's howI would say it.

你的眼睛漂亮得很 sounds a bit over the top.
Your explanations are perfect.
Some other words can be used to emphasize too
eg
你的眼睛好漂亮 (more used by women i would say...not sure...)
你的眼睛真漂亮
