あんまり / Anmari is more informal than amari / あまり. You will see amari used more in writing. あまり sounds stiffer than あんまり, which has a more conversational ring to it. Sometimes people just say あんま.

あまり (imma read) the rest later.

Almost sounds like "remainder" in reverse:
remainder -> da-man-re -> a-ma-ri

A MARRIage usually lasts for the rest of your life.

When I eat sweets あまい not a lot remains あまり

AMA-unt RI-maining

Is everyone here? Nope, still one left. Ah-Mary, she’s the REMAINDER

In the video game katAMARI damacy, the remainder is everything you haven't rolled up yet.

私はたくさんの漫画を読む。means : I read a lot of manga. The emphasis is on the manga.
私は漫画をたくさん読む。means : I read manga a lot. The emphasis is on the reading.

"take some" (tak san) I have too many!

TAKU-SAN, thank you very **much**.

I would love a lot of tacos 😋

When someone talks a lot you call them Talk-san (たくさん)

There is so much tax on (たくさん) the price!

There are a lot of swamps (taku) and mountains (san). You “talk” while counting ichi .. ni .. “san” .. just a lot of them

てんで is used in casual conversation and typically carries a negative connotation. It means "completely" or "absolutely" when describing something in a negative context, such as "not at all" or "entirely useless."

全然 traditionally means "not at all" when used with negative verbs, like 全然わからない (I don't understand at all). However, in modern casual language, especially among younger speakers, 全然 is sometimes used in positive contexts, like 全然大丈夫 (It's totally fine). This positive usage is considered informal and may not be appropriate in formal settings.

全く means "entirely" or "completely". It can be used in both positive and negative contexts. When paired with negative expressions, it means "not at all," like 全く興味がない (I have no interest at all). It's more formal and generally considered stronger than 全然.

With Neg: (not) at all, (not) in the slightest​;
neg context: wholly, entirely, completely, totally​;
Colloq: extremely, very; (全然いいよ);

Kanji: A dog is peeing (right) in the king's house (left) - that's not acceptable AT ALL!

ほんのり tends to carry a pleasant connotation, whereas ちょっと or 少し is more neutral.

The English word scosche (or skosh) is derived from すこし and means the same thing, a little.

I want a a little bit of squash (すこし）

Difference between ちょっと and 少し (also 少々)
少々（しょうしょう）> 少し > ちょっと

ちょっと is more of a spoken phrase than a written phrase. It can be rude in formal or business situations, especially when you're asking someone to do something.
For example 「ちょっと待ってください」(please wait a moment), it's like you're not taking their willingness to wait that seriously. In this case It's better to use 少し or even better 少々
