aljem vam, kao to sam obeala, razliku izmedju fairly i rather

aljem vam, kao to sam obeala, razliku izmedju fairly i rather. Razmiljala sam da li je uopte potrebno da vas optereujem dodatnim podacima, ali poto sam obeala, ipak sam odluila da vam poaljem ono to sam nala. Ko smatra da e ga ovo dodatno zbuniti, jednostavno neka ignorie poruku. Both can mean moderately, but fairly is chiefly used with favourable adjectives and adverbs (bravely, good, nice, well, etc), while rather is chiefly used in this sense before unfavourable adjectives and adverbs (bad, stupid, ugly, etc):

Tom is fairly clever, but Peter is rather stupid.

I walk fairly fast but Ann walks rather slowly.

to znai da sam na asu dobro definisala razliku, ali kada smo radili primer, pogreno sam vam rekla. Iskreno, u govoru bih koristila rather clever, ali tada bi to imalo ono drugo znaenje very. Tako da vam preporuujem da rather sa pridevima i prilozima sa negativnim znaenjem, koristite samo u kombinaciji sa fairly. Inae tu re moete slobodno koristiti i sa pozitivnim pridevima, kada ima znaenje very.Idemo dalje:

Both can be used similarly with participles:

He was fairly relaxed; she was rather tense.

a fairly interesting film; a rather boring book

The indefinite article, if required, precedes fairly but can come before or after rather:

a fairly light box a rather heavy box/ rather a heavy box

With adjectives/adverbs such as fast, slow, thin, thick, cold, hot etc, which are not in themselves either favourable or unfavourable, the speaker can express approval by using fairly and disapproval by using rather:

This soup is fairly hot. (This means that the speaker likes hot soup.)

This soup is rather hot. (This means that it is a little too hot for him.)

Ima tu jo nekih detalja, ali mislim da i je i ovo vie nego dovoljno.

Sreno i javite se!

Pozdrav,
