What does มาก mean?

The most common intensifier in Thai, placed after adjectives and verbs to mean 'very' or 'a lot'. Thai speakers use มาก constantly in daily conversation to emphasize feelings, opinions, and descriptions. Unlike English 'very', it can also mean 'much' with verbs (like รักมาก 'love very much').
