HOME>Word Master®>PRETTY (good)   かなり(良い)

Greetings on this lovely Thursday! What? Some of you are saying that it's not lovely where you are? Then we're happy you've given us this chance to help brighten your day in some small way.

Welcome back to Berlitz WordMaster!


If we say that something is pretty good, pretty difficult, pretty fast, etc., we usually mean that it is quite good or good to a large degree, quite difficult, etc.

(Be careful: If, however, the word pretty is stressed in a sentence, then pretty means only "fairly" or "to a limited degree". For example, "The movie was PRETTY good" means that the movie was FAIRLY good, but not VERY good.)

pretty は、かなりという意味です。 pretty good、 pretty difficult 、 pretty fastは、かなり良い、かなり難しい、かなり速いという意味になります。

注意: pretty という言葉を強く言った場合は、まあまあという意味になります。例:The movie was PRETTY good.(映画はまあまあ良かった)
