Quite and Rather
When reviewing movies or books, you rarely just say something is "good" or "bad." Danish uses degree adverbs placed directly before an adjective to add nuance and scale your opinion.
Use ret for "quite" and temmelig for "rather" or "fairly".
| The movie was quite entertaining, but the plot was boring. | Filmen var ret underholdende, men handlingen var kedelig. |
| The review that I read was rather disappointing. | Anmeldelsen som jeg læste, var temmelig skuffende. |
Completely
When you want to take your opinion to the absolute maximum and leave no room for doubt, use helt to mean "completely" or "totally".
| The director is skilled, but her movie is completely overrated. | Instruktøren er dygtig, men hendes film er helt overvurderet. |
| I do not understand the plot, and it is completely impossible. | Jeg forstår ikke handlingen, og den er helt umulig. |
Really
To strongly emphasize an adjective, use rigtig to mean "really." While the word rigtig means "correct" when used as a standard adjective, as a degree adverb it acts as a strong intensifier for your opinions.
| The novels have a really good plot and are very entertaining. | Romanerne har en rigtig god handling og er meget underholdende. |
| I am completely in agreement with the director, and the movie is really exciting. | Jeg er helt enig med instruktøren, og filmen er rigtig spændende. |
