Questions about example sentences with, and the definition and usage of "Very"

A: It means that you are complimenting someone on how they look / their appearance!

A: Wait, I think I misunderstood, I’m sorry!! It is also very badly written means the writing was bad.

A: ottimo

A: A 'put-down' is a phrase or act that belittles or criticises someone. A 'very English put-down' would be an insult or criticism that is typically English (as in sounding particularly British.) Examples of this could be:
-You bloody tosser
- You're such a bloody idiot
We like the word 'bloody' in the UK^-^
A 'very American put-down' would be an insult or criticism using Americanisms (particularly American sounding words.)
You can also put yourself down by thinking you are fat or stupid etc.
Sorry I can't explain in Russian:( I hope you understand

A: Ah, I think he might have said something like "Not very many people smoke marijuana in Japan."

A: " At the very least, you could take out the trash."
" I think my performance is enough to, at the very least, warrant a raise."
" It's courtesy to tip, at the very least, 10% of the meal's cost."
" You could, at the very least, apologize."
Because it's a parenthetical, you can place it almost anywhere in a sentence and it will be understandable:
" At the very least, you could apologize."
" You, at the very least, could apologize."
" You could, at the very least, apologize."
" You could apologize, at the very least."

A: Here’s a couple of examples:

“I have an exam in one week and I need to get two hours of studying done every day, at the very least”

“I paid for drinks last time we went out so, at the very least, you have to get the first round”

“I’ve seen them together twice now so they’re interested in each other, at the very least”

A: "At the very least" adds emphasis to "at least". Similar to "if nothing else,..."

Example:
At the very least, tell me your name.

A: At the very least, you should eat your salad.

At the very least do your homework before gaming

A: Very can be used in different contexts/ situations. It’s literal meaning is ‘in a high degree’, for example: “a very large amount"
It can also be used when being very precise (used to emphasize the exact identity of someone or something).
"those were his very words".
Or it can be used when emphasising an extreme point in time or space.
"from the very beginning of the book".

Highly means at or to a high degree or level, for example: "a highly dangerous substance”.
It can also be used when talking about someone, for example: “his colleagues think quiet highly of him".

Both words mean in simple ‘a lot’ but have to be used within different contexts. For example, within a certain sentence one will for and one will not.
“There was a very big amount of gold”
This would fit rather than “there was a highly big amount of gold”.
But other sentences ‘highly’ would be more suitable.

But sometimes both can be used although highly can mean more sometimes. For example:
“The substance is very flammable”.
“The substance is highly flammable”.
Here highly hold more as highly usual does mean more than very.

I hoped this helped, it’s quite hard to find which word can for where but by saying both words within the sentence it can sometimes help when deciding which one to use. 😊

A: "Pretty" is more informal than "very", in my opinion!

"It's very hot out" sounds more formal/a bit more unnatural than "It's pretty hot out."

So, you can use "pretty" in place of "very" and it will sound more informal and natural. :)

A: They mean the same thing, no difference. Just two different ways to say the same thing.

"I very like him" is not correct. "I really like him" is correct.

A: It's a very nice of you is being used when you compliment someone or when you feel thankful for someone who do good things towards you. For an example, Your neighbor helped you to carry your heavy luggage, you can thank them by saying "Thanks, it's a very nice of you". Meanwhile, It's a very nice for you is being used when you agree on something that happened on the other people. For an example, Your friend finally decided to accept the work offer in abroad, you can say "Goodluck, its a very nice (opportunity) for you".

A: They are both similar, but the difference is in the degree.
"I am very happy."
"I am extremely happy."
In this case, the person in the 2nd sentence is more happy than the person in the 1st sentence.

A: really,very

A: Very delicious is not normal as delicious is already the extreme of something, you can get away with it but it would not be my first choice of words. Which words to use will vary based on region, extent of enjoyment of the food, formality and a few other factors.

Delicious alone is adequate to convey the sentiment in most situations.

A: It's too bad that it seems like she won't be able to understand you.

A: Very close to that location is a bullfighting ring called ‘Arenas’. It is not a bullfighting ring anymore, as bullfighting is no longer allowed in this part of Spain since 2012; so they converted it into a mall with very nice restaurants and a circular view point (a circular lookout) on top. This could be an option to book a table in one of those restaurants for New Year's Eve, so you can watch the fireworks from there after midnight.

A: "You have a curvaceous body that suits you very well."
