american

i can think of quite a lot of possibilities where it's led to misunderstandings...

That thing has me confused, saying 'I''m quite hungry' means I'm a bit hungry, do Americans think that means 'I'm really hungry'?

Phigure · Post by **Phigure** » Wed May 01, 2013 8:10 am

Yeah if i said "my dad is quite angry" it means he hasn't hit anyone yet- just kind of sulking.

What's the point of quite meaning really- there's already so many words like that.

there's just as many words for the opposite meaning: hardly, barely, slightly, only, etc

Fuck, it's true n'all.

Are you quite sure about that?

It's widely used in both senses in British English. Jesus, have none of you Brits ever watched a Sherlock Holmes film?

The 'American' (just for the matter of clarity) meaning is the dictionary definition.
The 'British' meaning is more of a colloquialism. It all depends on the inflection.
Are you quite sure the page was blank? -- Yes, 100%

How was your meal? -- *Shrugs* Yeah it was quite good

The 'British' meaning, as we're calling it, is invariably used by the low born.
