</TOC>
To express something is unexpected, you can use the adverb 竟然 (jìngrán) after the subject. 竟然 has the same meaning as 居然, but is not as intense.
## Structure
Like many other adverbs, 竟然 is placed after the subject. This grammar structure is usually used in spoken Chinese.
Subj. + 竟然 ⋯⋯
You can also drop out the 然 and use just 竟. This can be used in spoken or written Chinese.
## Examples
Note that it can be difficult to translate the word 竟然 into an appropriate English word. Sometimes it's just a _feeling_ that doesn't come across well in English unless you can hear the tone of voice.

</TOC>
Sometimes in English, we may want to emphasize how big, small, long, etc. something is perceived to be. We have all heard expressions like "he was a full 300 pounds," or "he was all of seven feet tall." The "a full" and "all of" in these sentences have an equivalent expression in Chinese: 足足 (zúzú).
## Structure
You can put 足足 either in front or after the verb. Remember that 足足 adds emphasis to what you are saying, so you should always use it with a number. Some more commonly used verbs are 有 and 等.
足足 + Verb
Verb + 足足
