Hi,

I'd like to know if the following sentences mean the same. If not, could you please tell the subtle differences. Thanks in advance.

1. He is not really kind.
2. He is really not kind.

I would say:

1. He is not really kind.
--Means he is not actually a kind person, even though you may think he is kind.

2. He is really not kind.
--Means he is really unkind.
