用法
- 'far more than / not just' - 他会的何止这些 (tā huì de hézhǐ zhèxiē) what he can do is far more than this.
- Rhetorical, stressing the real number/extent greatly exceeds what's stated: 何止一次 (far more than once).
- Emphatic upgrade over 不止 (bùzhǐ, more than); 何止 carries stronger 'way beyond that' surprise.
