Next, let's look at other differences between so and very:
1.So is usually used to enhance the degree of adjectives or adverbs, while very is used to emphasize the degree of describing the word itself.
Example:
-He is so tall that he can touch the ceiling.

-I'm very satisfied with the test results.
I am very satisfied with the test results.
2.So is usually used to express strong feelings or sighs, while very is basically a slow emphasis.
Example:
-So you finally passed the test!

The scenery on the top of the mountain is very beautiful.

3.So often appears in affirmative sentences and interrogative sentences, and very often emphasizes the tone before adjectives.
Example:
-She's smart.

-The soup is very hot.

Therefore, we emphasize the overall situation, but pay great attention to details and specific things.
Example:
The food at the party was delicious.
The food at the party was delicious.
-The spaghetti is delicious.
This spaghetti is very delicious.
5.So usually refers to strong feelings or attributes, while very pays more attention to the essence of words or the characteristics of things.
Example:
His laughter was so infectious that everyone in the room began to giggle.
