Learn English – What does the phrase “none too dissimilar” mean

expressionsmeaningphrases

I have heard the phrase none too dissimilar used many times. Based on context, it seems to mean similar, or perhaps very similar.

Does none too dissimilar have a different meaning that I am missing?

Example:

The book and the movie were none too dissimilar.

Best Answer

None too means not very, so the sentence means that the book and the movie were not very different.
