Long explanation:

The Mandarin Chinese word '很 (hěn)' is usually used before adjectives to increase the intensity or emphasize a particular characteristic or quality. It's the equivalent of 'very' in English. However, when there's no context to compare to, '很' can be simply used as a linking word between a noun and an adjective, without intensifying the meaning of the adjective.
