Do not confuse the adverb ‘довольно‘ with the short adjective ‘доволен,’ as they have different meanings. The adverb ‘довольно‘ translates into English as ‘quite’ and normally precedes another adverb or an adjective. Check the examples below:
- Сегодня она проснулась довольно поздно. = Today she woke up quite late.
- Рыба в этом магазине довольно дорогая. = The fish in this store is quite expensive.
- Я довольно долго ждал автобус на остановке. = I waited for the bus at the bus stop for quite a long time.
