Also, native speakers use "cât de cat" with the meaning 50/50, or time to time. To use "reasonably" is not reasonably for this case.
If I translate cât de cât with Reverso, it says it means "more or less", "vaguely"... but isn't the meaning different from "reasonably"? Which would be the most correct translation and use? Thank you!
I used fairly good and it was accepted.
More or less is a closer translation.
Fairly is similar to reasonably. I feel reasonably is a very posh way of saying fairly good
Shouldn't "I make quite a good soup" be correct as well? As opposed to "I make a quite good soup"

I think the problem is that the phrase means "reasonably" good, and "quite" good is much stronger.

Beware! Quite has a very different meaning in America. Here it is synonymous with "very" so it would not be an accurate translation on this side of the Atlantic.
"quite a good" and "a reasonably good" are the same in English. Both should be accepted. (Native speaker)
