In every case I can think of, the two-word phrase is a synonym of very (substitute extremely, exceedingly, exceptionally, especially, tremendously, immensely, really, truly, to a great extent/degree, etc.).
It's ever so frustrating! = It's very frustrating! or It's truly frustrating! She's ever so hungry! = She's extremely hungry! or She's really hungry! The phrase isn't used to indicate continuing or increasing emotion. |

Thank you very much, for the reply, Rusty. I will have to internalize the actual meaning and not the one my head keeps giving it.
