I was watching an interview and the periodist say "Its such strange thing, you invented this software ..."
- English (US)
'such' provides a way of putting emphasis on the thing it comes before.
Examples:
That is a big house.
That is *such* a big house.
The speaker is putting emotion into the sentence.
'it's such a strange thing, you invented this software'
Without 'such', this would be an unemotional fact.
Add 'such', and the speaker expresses puzzlement that 'you invented this software '
another example:
You are a tease.
You are such a tease.
The second expresses some emotion, though we don't really know what exactly. It's just more conversational and expressive.
