副詞N4

ちっとも〜ない

not... at all

Structure

ちっとも + 否定

Explanation

The adverb ちっとも pairs with a negative to mean "not... at all". More colloquial and emphatic than 全然 (e.g., ちっとも疲れていない).

Examples

この問題はちっとも難しくありません。

This problem isn't difficult at all.

最近、ちっとも運動していません。

I haven't exercised at all recently.

Note

ちっとも must pair with a negative. 少しも is similar but ちっとも is more colloquial; compared with 全然 it emphasizes "not even a bit".
