There are different words that will indicate intensity. SO and SUCH are two short words that can be misleading if one isn't careful when using them.
.
.
SO: it's used with adjectives for emphasis.
- It's so cold in here. Turn on the heater!
- You are so lazy. Why don't you do anything?
- I love her so much!
- I'd never seen so many wild animals.
SUCH: it's usually used with adjectives + nouns for emphasis. It can be used with only nouns.
- Tom is such a jerk!
- You had such an amazing idea!
- This is such hot tea.
- There are such wonderful beaches in Rio!
***You should pay attention to the word SUCH and its comploment:
- This is such a nice song. (countable singular)
- Dan has such beautiful eyes. (countable plural)
- I've never tasted such food. Is it spicy? (uncountable)
