多（么）……啊！
how …! (an exclamation)
Structure
多／多么 + 形容词 + 啊 ！
What it means
An exclamation: “how …!”, “what …!”. It works much like 好 + adjective + 啊 (好冷啊！, h2-6).
How it is built
多／多么 + adjective + 啊！: 今天的天气多好啊！ (What lovely weather today!)
When to use it
多 is everyday speech; 多么 is stronger and common in writing. 啊 (h2-5) goes at the end, and you say it with a falling voice.
Watch out
Don’t add 很: ✗ 多很好啊！ ✓ 多好啊！ Don’t mix it up with the question 多大？ “how old, how big?”: with 啊 and a falling voice it is an exclamation.
Examples
今天的天气多好啊！
What lovely weather today!
大家对你多好啊！
How good everyone is to you!
晚上的月亮多么亮啊！
How bright the moon is tonight!
