We use 'so' and 'such' to add emphasis.


   It's cold today.



   It's so cold today.
   He’s a tall man




   He’s such a tall man
Let’s see if you can figure it out:

   She’s so nice
   She’s such a nice person
   Today is so hot
   Today is such a hot day
   He is so intelligent
   He is such an intelligent guy

                                      Got it?
Let’s see the sentences again:

   She’s so nice (so + adjective)
   She’s such a nice person (such + a + adj. + noun)
   Today is so hot (so + adjective)
   Today is such a hot day (such + a + adj. + noun)
   He is so intelligent (so + adjective)
   He is such an intelligent guy (such + a + adj. +
    noun)
              What’s the difference?
So, is used before an adjective or adverb to
  add emphasis:
 She’s so pretty (so + adjective)
 He ran so quickly (so + adverb)

Such, is used before a noun (with or without
  adjective)
 Ann is such a funny person (such + a + adj. +
  noun)
 He acted like such a jerk (such + a + noun)
