How it works
The adverb '万分' (wànfēn) is used to express an extreme degree, similar to 'extremely' or 'extraordinarily'. It is typically used in formal or written contexts to modify two-syllable psychological verbs or adjectives that describe feelings or states.
Examples

Dézhī nín shēntǐ kāngfù de xiāoxi, wǒ gǎndào wànfēn xīnwèi.

Common mistakes
Do not use '万分' with single-syllable adjectives (e.g., avoid '万分好' or '万分忙').
Tip
Think of '万分' as 'ten thousand parts,' representing 100% intensity. It is almost exclusively used with 'feeling' words like 感谢 (grateful), 焦急 (anxious), or 遗憾 (regretful).
