この先生…早くはないけどすごく仕事がていねいだな…
In the sentence above, this is my understanding so far:
Vocabulary
- この先生【せんせい】 that teacher…
- 早くない【はやくない】 fast, negative present form
- けど conj. however
- すごく adv. immensely
- 仕事【しごと】 n. work
- 『が』 subject particle
- ていねい na-adj. polite, courteous
- だ non-formal copula
- 『な』 sentence ending particle
My question is the following. How does すごく, an adverb, change the noun 仕事 (work)? I don't understand.
It is a sentence from the manga, 'Send my Regards to Black Jack', p. 13 episode 2 (for context):
