005- A得不能再A了 - learn spoken Chinese

A得不能再A了 is a phrase emphasizing the degree is very high, basically reaching the extreme.
A is always an adjective. This phrase is kind of exaggeration, but sometimes also used in an ironic way.

Examples:

这个孩子胖得不能再胖了,得去看看医生了。
--> This kid is too fat, you need to take him to see a doctor.

你这样做真是好得不能再好了。
--> You are 'too' kind to do this. --> in this sentence, 好得不能再好 is used for irony.
