Complete Definition of "not very"

English

Adjective
not very

  1. idiom Not

Usage notes
If the stress is on very when speaking, it means "not expectionally". Without stress on any word it would mean simply "not". E.g. "As far as countries go, Andorra is not very big." Compare with the unidiomatic phrase with stress on "very" - "Blogging is fairly new, but it's not very new"
