Amari with a negative predicate means not very or not often. It works with both adjectives and verbs: amari takakunai (not very expensive), amari mimasen (do not watch much). The predicate must be negative.
Examples
-
Watashi wa amari terebi o mimasen.
I don't watch TV very much.
-
Kono mise wa amari takakunai desu.
This shop is not very expensive.
