Question

请诠“厉害“
您好
英文是我母语.我的中文／英文词典说“厉害“(4声）是severe,
strict,ferocious,talented “厉害“（5声）是terrible,formidable,serious,devastating,tough,capable,sharp,severe,fierce
Could you please explain this sentence "中国文化对数的引申太厉害了.而西方很直接"
Could you please show me some Chinese sentences that use the different meanings of 厉害?
I most commonly hear it with the meaning "talented" as in "你好厉害“ You are very talented.I am interested to see how to use it in the other sentences?It seems the different meanings are very different?Is there a reson why it means "talented",is there any connection between "talented" and "severe"/"strict"?
