• ظرف له معنيان رئيسيان حسب السياق والاستعمال الإقليمي. في الإنجليزية البريطانية يعني غالبًا 'إلى حد ما' أو 'بدرجة متوسطة' (مثل 'quite good' — جيد إلى حد ما). وفي الإنجليزية الأمريكية يعني غالبًا 'تمامًا' أو 'كليًا' (مثل 'quite sure' — متأكد تمامًا). ويُستعمل أيضًا للتوكيد.

An adverb with two primary meanings depending on context and regional usage. In British English, it often means 'to a certain extent' or 'moderately' (e.g., 'quite good' meaning fairly good). In American English, it more commonly means 'completely' or 'entirely' (e.g., 'quite sure' meaning absolutely sure). It can also be used for emphasis.
