How it works

别提有多…了 is an exclamation of extreme degree: literally "don't even mention how X it was". Despite the negative wording it is emphatic praise or complaint, and the adjective is usually about feeling.

Examples

他别提有多高兴了。
Tā biétí yǒu duō gāoxìng le.
You can't imagine how delighted he was.
那天别提多冷了。
Nà tiān biétí duō lěng le.
You wouldn't believe how cold it was that day.
