This video explains the various meanings and uses of the French adverb "plutôt." The speaker outlines two main contexts for its application. Firstly, "plutôt" indicates a choice or preference, creating an opposition between two options, as in preferring vanilla yogurt over strawberry or choosing to go to the sea instead of staying in Paris. It introduces a favored option or a recommendation. Secondly, "plutôt" can be placed before an adjective to emphasize it, functioning as a synonym for "assez" (enough, in the sense of quite or rather). Examples include describing a cake as "pretty good" or someone like Thibault as "pretty nice," indicating a degree of quality or satisfaction.
