不怎么

Bù zěn me

Not very much

用法说明

"不怎么 "表示说话人不太想做这件事.中国人比较含蓄,一般不直接否定,用这种方式来间接表达自己的想法.

"不怎么" means that people do not really want to do something. Chinese people are more subtle and speak in generalities, and they do not directly deny or reject something. This indirect manner of speaking is the way in which they express their ideas.
