Comment: << review queue entry 37470 - submitted by 'richwarm' >>
We originally had just "(particle used for emphasis)".
Then "very" was added.
I am not sure that "very" is helpful.
It works for 他汉语说得可好啦!
But what about 他可没说过这话。"He never said that." ?
And what about 可是 as in 别让他等。他可是我们最大的客户
之一。?

Editor: you can't expect one single English word to account for
all uses of an idiomatic word
Diff:
- 可 可 [ke3] /can/may/able to/to approve/to permit/certain(ly)/to suit/very (particle used for emphasis)/
# + 可 可 [ke3] /can/may/able to/to approve/to permit/certain(ly)/to suit/(particle used for emphasis)/
+ 可 可 [ke3] /can/may/able to/to approve/to permit/to suit/(particle used for emphasis) certainly/very/
