Use of "kind"
"Kind" is a word used very often in the da to day language. Can you explain me the sens even if it's not a good english
Top answer
Kind is a perfectly good English word meaning 'nice / gentle'. It is also used (kind of) to mean 'rather / somewhat'. This is fine, but if you see it written as 'kinda' it's categorically not good English.
