Oh how he kicked me! Explanation: Maybe "how hard". Or a longer sentence: "You've no idea/cant't imagine how hard he kicked me" I don't think "h-o-o-w" helps. |

peer agreement (net): +1He kicked/booted me really hard Explanation: 'Really' can be used for emphasis for 'kak'. If you want something a bit more colloquial - and I think this would suit the tone of the Russian: He booted me really hard. |
