I would like to add that KIND OF (= slightly) is informal (also KINDA = US)
and is often used to show that you are not certain about something
or when you try to describe something but you cannot be exact (I guess, I think, I kind of...)

When you say “my mother was kind of a refined woman”
that does not mean the same as “my mother was such a refined woman”
