How to Say ‘Today was a lot of fun!’ in Simplified Chinese
今天很开心！
jīn tiān hěn kāi xīn
[jeen-tyen hen kai-sheen]
💬 Usage Tip: No 是 is needed: 很 plus a describing word makes the whole sentence. Here 很 is closer to a filler word than to "very". Swap in another word the same way: 今天很累 "I'm tired today".
