Because I thought "I really don't think so" and "I don't really think so" are the same meaning, but actually they are opposite. "I really don't think so" means "I don't think so". "I don't really think so" means "I think so". In the sentence "I really don't think so", "really" defines "don't think so". Therefore this sentence means "I don't think so". However in the other sentence, "really" defines "think so". That means "I don't completely think so". Therefore it means "I think so, but I still have a little problems". I think the second sentence is very tricky, maybe I can't explain very well. ※ 引述《bigtrainBRCM (愛PO文章的小男)》之銘言: : Hi, could you tell me why you are surprised about the answers ? : I wold say "I cannot agree with you" or I disagree with you. : ※ 引述《beautyman (man)》之銘言: : : Today, I asked my teacher about the sentence, "I don't think so". : : I told him that I wanted to make the sentence stronger. : : Therefore I gave him two sentences, "I really don't think so" and : : "I don't really think so", and asked him which one is correct. : : However, I was surprised about the answer. : : He told me that "I really don't think so" means "I don't think so", : : but it is stronger. : : The other one means "I almost think so". : : That means I almost agree, and a little disagree. : : Ps: This is my first time to post article here. : : Thanks for your reading. -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 70.57.73.140
