Do '不很 + adj' and '很不 + adj' have the same meaning? I have two sentences. Does 不 preceding or following 很 affect the sentence meaning?


她不很聪明，但很努力。
她很不聪明，但很努力。
很不 reinforces the (negated) adjective. 不很 indicates that the subject is "not really" as the adjectives says.


很不聪明 - very unintelligent. 
不很聪明 - not too intelligent, not really intelligent.
