A girl is talking about her family and says:
У меня довóлен[тики/e] большая семья. Я живу с мамой, с бабушкой, и с своей собакой.
I can't find the word in italics, perhaps it is a colloquial word. I have thought if it could be: a rather feminine (жéнская) familiy, but it is not. What can it be? Thanks.
довольно-таки
My family is quite big.
Довольный. Краткая форма (мужской) доволен.
Прямо-таки с мягким "т" и произнесла?Quote:
довóлен[тики/e]
What we have here is not an adjective but an adverb - "довольно".
Although it does have one meaning derived from "довольный" ("Он довольно улыбался"), here it is used in another meaning - quite/rather/fairly.
"таки" is more or less irrelevant.
Thank you very much.
радомир, как она произнесла "таки"? С мягким "т"? Вы написали "тики".
She was speaking rapidly, so it could be -таки. Thank you.
