How to Say ‘Very familiar; well acquainted’ in Traditional Chinese

很熟

hěn shú

[huhn shoo]

💬 Usage Tip: [很] here often doesn't mean "very" so much as making the sentence sound complete: [很熟] is the natural way to say someone is familiar with something. You can swap in other adjectives the same way, like [很忙] or [很自然].
