quite a bit
More than some
Quite a bit means a considerable amount—more than a little, though less than a huge quantity.
It softens what might otherwise sound like an extreme claim: I've learned quite a bit about gardening this summer.
The phrase works with both countable and uncountable nouns: quite a bit of money, quite a bit of trouble.
