What is the meaning of the sentence "すごかないわよ"?


Does すご refer to すごく or すごい?

Dictionaries have no entries on すごかない. I understand that わよ are sentence
ending particles though.




> 「すご **か** ないわよ」＝「すご **くは** ないわよ」= "It is not that great/awesome."

「か」 is a colloquial contraction of 「くは」, with 「く」 being the last syllable of
the [連用形]{れんようけい}= "continuative form" of an i-adjective (「すごい」 in this case.
「すごく」 is the 連用形.) and 「は」 being a topic marker.

This 「か」 is mostly, if not exclusively, heard around Tokyo.

Other examples:

「うま **か** ねえ」＜「うま **くは** ない」 "It ain't yummy." (Kanto tough guy speech)

「[高]{たか} **か** ないけど・・」＜「高 **くは** ないけど・・」 "It is not expensive, but ..."
