I was quite surprised vs I was very surprised! What is the difference? I always hear “quite” on tv and everywhere. Thanks!!!

They are the same, but British people probably say "quite" more often, and Americans tend to say "very", but we use both.

I'm not sure if it's true, but I remember reading that in the US, "very" is a stronger word, and in the UK, "quite" is stronger.
I'm from the US, and to me, "I was very surprised" sounds a bit stronger than "I was quite surprised." But as Ian says, the main difference is simply that "quite" is more common in the UK. There isn't much difference in meaning.

No difference. Hardly ever do you actually need it to get your point across. Try leaving out the word "very" from now on and see if it changes anything. I'm very, very, very serious.

I think “very” is usually a stronger sense than “quite”
However there is a certain intonation of the word “quite” that does make the adjective stronger.
“Quite” is highly variable in meaning.
That’s probably not very helpful haha, but I hope that at least is “ quite” helpful.
