Is there a single word that can replace pretty good? Example - This book is pretty good.
Is there a way to shorten it?

    "Pretty good" can mean a whole range of things depending on how you say it. We need to know more about what you're trying to connote. Apr 27 at 20:35

    Just This book is good if "pretty" is meaningless (the usual case). Otherwise, This book is okay or ...excellent depending on whether you want to weaken or intensify the approval rating. Apr 27 at 20:42

    It's fine, it's OK, it's decent...any of them might apply, but as the other commenters have said, it's really all about context.

  • Yes, context and intonation. Those two allow for a range of answers from "acceptable" to "outstanding". If you use more specific words than "pretty good", we'll be able to give you a specific answer
