How it works
The word '愈加' is a formal adverb used to indicate that a quality, condition, or state has increased in intensity or degree. It is often used to describe a change that occurs over time or as a result of a specific circumstance, functioning similarly to '更加' but with a more literary tone.

Common mistakes
Do not use '愈加' in very casual or colloquial conversations; it is reserved for formal writing or speeches where '更加' might feel too simple.
Tip
Think of '愈加' as a formal upgrade to '越来越' or '更加'. It is frequently paired with verbs related to feelings like '思念' (miss) or '敬佩' (admire).
