Is this sentence right?
«If I'm not mistaken, it's a kind of a rococo style»
The expression «a kind of» is only used when you're not sure about something, right? If so, is it correct to say «If I'm not mistaken» and then «a kind of»? Aren't you repeating yourself? Because 'If I'm not mistaken» already shows that you aren't sure and then you say again «a kind of».
Rococo style, is an art movement, the sentence is referring to a painting.
Hope that wasn't confusing, thanks!
“It’s a Kind of “ is an idiom meaning:
Similar to
In the style of
Could pass as
In the same genre as
@Rca8,
If I'm not mistaken, it's kind of a rococo style."
It's not redundant because it could be kind of a rococo style, but one is not sure.
