Hi! > I quite like it.,does it mean you don't like it much or the opposite? It means you like it quite a bit. You like it more that "I like it". > What words can I add to like to express different grades, particularly the fact that you like it but not much.sort of so, so. Examples from least to most: - I don't like it at all. - I don't like it. - I like it a bit. / I sort-of like it. - I like it. - I like it a lot. / I quite like it. This is not exhaustive, but it covers some of the common expressions you might hear.

In answer to Christine's request for a British English perspective: 'I quite like it' is a 'lukewarm' way of saying that you like something. It doesn't mean 'very much' at all. You'd say 'I quite like it' if you'd give something 7 points out of 10 ie it's ok but, it's by no means your favourite. I'd say it's the best translation (in British English) of Emarbe's 'mas o menos' phrase.

"I quite like it" sounds like British English to me, and I understand it to mean "I like it very much." But I'm American, so you might want to wait for a British person to chime in. I would express degrees of like (from least to most) I hate it. I don't like it. I don't like it very much. It's okay, I guess. It's fine. I like it. I like it a lot. I love it! This is casual speech rather than grammatically perfect written English, and it's from an American point of view. I hope it's helpful. Good luck with your studies!

I'm chiming in... "I quite like it" is acceptable and means that you like it more than just a little.

Roughly, "I quite like it" means "I like it". How much (the "grade") depends on the tone of the conversation and the personality of the speaker. One native speaker can misunderstand another native speaker. Usually: I quite like (a thing) = (The thing) is alright. I quite like (a person) = I like (the person) a lot. "I quite like (a person)" can mean "I like the person romantically". I am a British English speaker.
