Not At All — 一……都/也……不/没

一点都不、一口都没——中文怎么说「完全不」

English says 'not at all'. Chinese names the smallest thing — one sip, one step, one yuan — and says even that didn't happen.

Free sample — nothing is saved

Sign up free — just an email. Your wrong answers go into your mistake book, and you can carry on on another device.
