Adverbs of Degree
We’ve been talking about how to say we’re good at (or not so good at) doing things. To take this a step further, we can use adverbs of degree to describe just how good (or bad) someone is at something. Remember, when you use adverbs of degree, you don’t have to use a particle after it.
The adverbs we can use are:
とても (very)
たなかさん は つり が とても じょうず です。
Mr. Tanaka is very skillful at fishing.
すこし (a little)
やまださん は え が すこし とくい です。
Mr. Yamada is a little strong at drawing/painting.
ちょっと (also means a little)
すいえい が ちょっと とくい です。
I am a little strong at swimming.
To say “not at all” use ぜんぜん:
せんせい は ゴルフ が ぜんぜん じょうず では ありません。
The teacher is not at all skillful at golf.
To say “not very” use あまり:
あまり やきゅう が あまり じょうず じゃありません。
I’m not very skillful at baseball.*
*It’s ok to use じょうず with either あまりor ぜんぜん when talking about yourself because you’re saying you are *not* skillful at something. When using あまり or ぜんぜん always use a *NEGATIVE* form of ですsuch as では ありません or じゃありません.
