The difference between 'quite fit' and 'very fit'?
I've seen that there are different ways to describe how fit a person is (relating to how strong and healthy a person is), I've seen two ways to express the meaning, 'quite fit' and 'very fit', but I'm not sure what's the difference between them, can you please help me?
Thanks a lot!!!

Scott is right, "very" is stronger than "quite". The words "quite" and "rather" are good translations for the Chinese word 挺.
quite fit = 挺健康的
very fit = 很健康的,特别健康的

Also not an English teacher, but as an American, I would say that very fit is stronger than quite fit.
Of note as well, in British English, "fit" means something very different, more like sexy than athletic.

quiet fit - someone's who is physically fit and doesn't brag about it.

I can't give you an "English teacher" answer as I am not one, but I am a native English speaker from the U.S. and I can tell you that these mean exactly the same thing. In this instance, the words "quite" and "very" are virtually synonymous. Let me know if this helps. Peace.
