Grammar note
“Stark” takes adjective endings before a noun: “ein starker Mann” (a strong man, masculine nominative). After “sein” it stays unchanged: “er ist stark”.
Common mistake
Don't confuse “stark” with “scharf” (spicy/sharp) — both describe intensity, but for different things: coffee is “stark”, chili is “scharf”.
