Thread: Quite

I have some problems with using "quite" in Russian.

1. I am quite good at Russian.
2. She is quite pretty girl.
3. I haven't see you quite long.
4. How was your day? Quite good.
5. I have quite good friends.
6. Today you came home at 10 p.m.. It's quite late.

Do you say довольно in all cases?

There are dozens of words which can be used for this:

1. Я весьма неплох в русском. (M)
2. Она довольно красивая. (M)
3. Я не видел тебя очень долго. (U)
4. Как прошёл день? Довольно таки хорошо. (M)
5. У меня вполне хорошие друзья. (M)
6. Сегодня ты пришёл довой в 10. Это слишком поздно. (U)

On the other side I have difficulties with "quite" because I cannot understand does it means "(U)tmost" or "(M)oderately/relatively" from context.

I am sorry, I mean "relatively" in all sentences, not "absolutely".

Then "довольно" is a good universal word.
