Descriptions

1. Explain it simply

真 (zhēn) means 'really' or 'so'. It adds emphasis: 真好 = really good.

非常 (fēicháng) means 'very' or 'extremely'. It is stronger than 很: 非常好吃 = extremely tasty.

有点儿 (yǒudiǎnr) means 'a little' but usually with a negative feeling: 有点儿贵 = a bit expensive.

好 (hǎo) can combine with verbs to form adjectives: 好吃 (tasty), 好看 (good-looking), 好听 (nice to hear), 好玩儿 (fun).
