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.Quote:
