What does “quite the set-up in here” mean?
@Wen great question… “set-up” refers to the organization or layout of something, in this case the layout and decoration of the room for the party. そして “quite the…” means impressive or very good, 例えば, Jenny is quite the presenter, meaning Jenny is a very good presenter.
So what Amber means when she says, “Quite the set-up in here isn’t it?” is the decoration of the room is very impressive.
Thanks for asking this question Wen, I’m sure a lot of learners weren’t sure about this too.
what’s up meaning and why response shall be ” not much”. could you explain further
