Degree With unay

Place unay after the property expression being intensified, without an intervening linker. The descriptive word supplies the quality: napigsa describes strength, while unay intensifies that description. Unay stays unchanged; it does not acquire person or number endings.

Compare the fragments nangina, “expensive,” and nangina unay, “very expensive.” The second expresses a high degree without naming a comparison standard or identifying the highest-ranking member of a set. The supplied lesson presents this alongside other intensification patterns, rather than making it identical to a comparative or superlative.

Unay also accompanies an action in the supplied walking dialogue, where English “too much” fits. That excessive reading comes from the action and situation; “too” is not required whenever unay follows an adjective.
