I don’t like carrots.
ni n ji n wa cho t to
にんじんはちょっと。
にんじん → carrots
は → no meaning
ちょっと → a bit
ちょっと literally means ‘a bit’, but it doesn’t have the meaning in this sentence. The full sentence could be にんじんはちょっと私の好(この)みにはあいません。
Japanese people like this expression instead of にんじんはきらいです。which literally means I dislike carrots because にんじんはちょっと is indirect and sounds much softer than the other one.
