Usage Note

Attivamente is formed regularly from attivo + -mente and emphasises willing, energetic participation: partecipare attivamente (to participate actively). It is invariable and typically follows the verb it modifies. Learners often place adverbs before the verb (as in English) — Italian prefers post-verbal placement in most contexts.

Examples

"Gli studenti partecipano attivamente alle lezioni."
