At All

Hello guys, I have a little doubt with "at all".

For example: "Love doesn't frighten me at all".

at all means too much or means not enough? It confuses me!

Thanks in advance!

at all just intensifies the negative. You might say it means 'in any way whatsoever'. CJ

Hi,

"Love doesn't frighten me at all". The focus is on 'not even a little bit, not even a tiny amount'.

eg 'I have no money at all' suggests 'not even one penny'.
