Very, very much.
Schema d'uso:
hugely + [adjective/adverb]; [verb] hugely
Errore comune:
Don’t confuse with highly: highly is common with more formal/positive adjectives (highly likely, highly effective), while hugely often emphasizes size or impact (hugely important, benefited hugely).
Sinonimi

extremely (More general intensifier; less focused on size/scale.)

By a lot; by a very big amount.
Schema d'uso:

greatly (Common and neutral; can sound less emphatic.)
|
by far (Often used specifically with superlatives or clear comparisons.)
|
vastly (Emphasizes a very large difference; slightly more formal.)
