    Which Word? quite / fairly / rather / prettyquite / fairly / rather / prettyLook at these examples:

    • Quite is a little stronger than fairly, and rather is a little stronger than quite. Rather is not very common in North American English; pretty has the same meaning and this is used in informal British English too:
      • The exam was pretty difficult.
    • In British English quite has two meanings:
      • I feel quite tired today
      (= fairly tired). With adjectives that describe an extreme state (‘non-gradable’ adjectives) it means ‘completely’ or ‘absolutely’:
      • I feel quite exhausted.
      With some adjectives, both meanings are possible. The speaker’s stress and intonation will show you which is meant:
      • Your essay is quite good
      (= fairly good—it could be better);
      • Your essay is quite good
      (= very good, especially when this is unexpected).
