Degree Expressions: とても、あまり、ちょっと

The adverbs 『とても』 and 『 あまり』 are often used with adjectives, and both are translated as “very” in English. The difference is that『とても』 occurs with an affirmative form, while 『 あまり』occurs with a negative form. 『ちょっと』is used with both forms, and your comment will sound unenthusiastic.このとしょかんは とても おおきいです。This library is very big.このとしょかんは あまり おおきくないです。This library is not very big.すずきさんのうちは とても きれいです。Mr. Suzuki’s house is very beautiful.すずきさんのうちは あまり きれいじゃないです。Mr. Suzuki’s house is not very beautiful.このこうえんは ちょっと ふるいですね。This park is a bit old, isn’t it?そのえいがは ちょっと よくなかったですね。That movie was not too good, wasn’t it?
