Hello, I recently realized that I've been treating the word "quite" as the equivalent of "very". If something is "quite good" I'd have assumed it meant "very good", and I know that is correct to most English speaking countries. But I found that in Britain when something is "quite good" is not "very good", it means "slightly good".
My question is: Is this just an exemption or it applies to every "quite + something"? When I say in Britain that "the movie was quite interesting" does it mean that it was boring?
Thanks you :up:
