Pretty sure means that you are almost certain about something. For example: I can't find my phone! I am pretty sure I left it in the car. The person thinks they left their phone in the car but there is a possibility that they could be wrong.

Today I Learned a new expression!

Learned a new expression."Pretty sure". Usually I use my notebook.

 

Pretty sure = fairly sure or quite sure.

 

We also say "Pretty good" and "Pretty bad".

 

How was the film?  It was pretty good. I enjoyed it. Or... It was pretty bad. I left after 20 minutes.

Pretty can mean 'beautiful' or 'lovely' but can also mean quite - as in the following 'pretty sure' = almost 100% sure 'pretty certain' = almost certain 'pretty good' = quite good 'pretty well self explanatory' = almost explains itself, means what it says.
