Very, quite and a little bit – Quantifying an adjective in Spanish

Once we have seen adjectives already, the description becomes very easy.

We can use some adverbs to quantify the adjective; in other words, to give to the adjective a more clear idea of its expression (very, a little bit, quite). Is better we see some examples to clarify the explanation.

Adverbs that quantify an adjective:

First remember:

¿CÓMO ESTÁ TU MADRE?

HOW IS YOUR MOM?

• MI MADRE ESTÁ CANSADA
• MY MOM IS TIRED

⇒ Let’s use the adverbs in the sentence then:

¿CÓMO ESTÁ TU MADRE?

HOW IS YOUR MOM?

→ VERY:

• MI MADRE ESTÁ MUY CANSADA
• MY MOM IS VERY TIRED

→ QUITE:

• MI MADRE ESTÁ BASTANTE CANSADA
• MY MOM IS QUITE TIRED

→ A LITTLE BIT:

• MI MADRE ESTÁ UN POCO CANSADA
• MY MOM IS A LITTLE BIT TIRED
