| Summary: | some intens In Newfoundland "some" and "right" seem to be synonymous with "very", as in "She's some pretty" or "She's right pretty." However, there are cases where the slot which "very" occupies in a sentence cannot accomodate [sic] "some". In the sentence "The very red berries are too ripe", "very" can comfortably be replaced by "right": "The right red berries are too ripe". However, if a tourist, attempting to get into the swing of things said "The some red berries taste better", Newfoundlanders awould unanimously agree he had "a rigt queer" way of speaking. very JH 4/75 WK Used I and Sup Not used 1 Not used wonderful, right
