Examples are: boiling (= very hot), certain (= very sure), convinced (= very sure), delighted (= very pleased), desperate (= very worried), fascinated (= very interested (by)), fine (= very well, as in 'I feel fine'), freezing (= very cold), and starving (= very hungry). To intensify such adjectives, use absolutely, NOT very OR extremely.
