    Default What does "biết mấy" mean ?

    Couldn't find it in the dictionaries I have - both book form and online.

    Word found in "5 minutes successful fable" in both english and vietnamese.

    It depends on the context, you'd better post the entire sentence.
    But generally, it means "so" or "so much"
    For example:
    "Anh nhớ em biết mấy" = "I miss you so much"
    "Cô ấy đẹp biết mấy" = "She is so beautiful"

    Anh nhớ em biết mấy. Can we say "I missed you that much"
    How about "biết mấy năm sau em có còn thương anh nửa không?"(Don't know few years later you are gonna still love me ?)
    Thất bại lớn nhất của đời người là tự đại
    Đáng thương nhất của đời người là tự ti.
    Tự đại + Tự ti = thất bại đáng thương nhất

    Yes, we can:

    TD: You said that "you missed me that much", why didn't you call me?(1)

    Suggestion:

    It is questionable that if you still love me in a few years from now (2)

    A turtle wish that, if there is a kind of bird agree to teach him fly, that's so good.
    I don't like English, I hate foreign language My English is very "banana" But I must use it So i want to learn English and I can teach Vietnamese for who need it

    suggestion:

    The turtle wishes if the bird agrees to teach him to fly, how good that would be!

    Paddy,

    SỰ ước muồn này sẽ không bao giờ thực hiện được....có lẽ nên đổi sang Sụbjunctive mode không???

    The turtle wishes if the would agree to teach him to fly, how good that would be!

    How about?
    How good the turtle's wish would be if the bird agreed to teach him the airborne knowledge!

    Ða tạ bác Mạnh. Nhưng nếu đặt how good ở đầu câu khi nói (chứ không phải viết) ra có thể làm cho người nghe hiểu lộn thành câu hỏi không ?
