"C'est peu commun."

Translation: That is not common.

So how would I say "This is kind of common"?

[Sitesurf]

"c'est plutôt commun" or "c'est assez commun"

[lkt005]

peu can be "not very" apparently... so could we say "that is not very common? "

Can someone point me to a grammar lesson explaining how « peu » takes a ngative meaning in this example? thx :)

[Sitesurf]

"peu" means "little" in this case = not much.
it is like "quite" or "rather", it is an adverb that modifies the adjective to give it more or less intensity in its meaning.

[labrini_k]

could we just translate by " it's uncommon"?
