You are asking about 'such'? Such is a word that means 'so much'.
I didn't know it was such a big deal to drive fast.

I didn't know it was so much of a big deal to drive fast.

Dancing is such a big passion with you. Dancing is so much of a passion with you.

It also means kind of 'thus' or 'only'. That is their life, such as it is. 

 It's a difficult word to explain, and I can only use examples. Here is a link to a page that explains it much better than I can :

 Good luck! 

Don't worry about making mistakes, ok? If anyone says anything, I will personally thump them!  We're all here to learn and to help.

"I still don't know it" meaning until now you don't know the answer, for example you lost my bag, then after how many days somebody asked you like this, Who get your bag? your answer is.. I still don't know..

 Another example… If you have a new video camera then until now you don't know how to operate it, someone asked you, did you know how to operate this, you wil answer, I still don't know it…
