That’s wonderful

We just learned a new word 马马虎虎 (mǎmǎhǔhǔ). But where does it lie in the range of expressions used to describe the qualities of things?

好极了(hǎo jíle) ，太好了(tài hǎole)

 

非常好(fēicháng hǎo) ，很好(hěn hǎo) ，好 (hǎo)

不错 (bùcuò) ，还可以 (hái kěyǐ) ，马马虎虎(mǎmǎhǔhǔ)

不太好 (bù tài hǎo)

不好 (bù hǎo) ，差 (chà) ，坏 (huài)

It goes from That’s wonderful (好极了) to bad (坏). Now I hope you know how to express exactly how you feel.

糊里糊涂 (hu li hú tu): confused

You can see a trend here. They all became my favorites because of the way they sound. Do you have any you can add to this list?
