About the adverb 'really'.

This adverb as we have seen is very useful in making what you say stronger. When talking about things you don't like though it can have a different meaning depending on where you put it in the sentence.

For example:

"I really don't like it!"

This means you have a strong dislike of something.

 

BUT

"I don't really like it."

This is not very strong. It means that you do not like something, but it is not a very strong dislike.
