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

  • ませ

    Watashi wa amari terebi o mimasen.

    I don't watch TV very much.

  • です

    Kono mise wa amari takakunai desu.

    This shop is not very expensive.
