How to say "Very" in Japanese

When translating "very" into Japanese, you must choose carefully between いとも and いたって. In Japanese, いとも (いとも (itomo)) is typically associated with "very, extremely (archaic/literary, often used with adjectives like 簡単, 容易, たやすい)" (Syllabus Level: N2) and represents An old-fashioned or literary adverb emphasizing 'very' or 'exceedingly.' It often adds a sense of ease or simplicity and usually precedes an adjective.. On the other hand, いたって (いたって (itatte)) maps to "Very, extremely, to the utmost" (Syllabus Level: N2) and represents An adverb emphasizing the degree of something, meaning 'extremely' or 'very.' Often used to describe something surprisingly or unexpectedly simple, normal, or good, contrasting with potential expectations.. A literal translation of "very" can often sound unnatural to native Japanese speakers if mixed up!
