Usage Note

Indicativamente is a formal adverb meaning 'as a rough guide' or 'approximately', commonly used in bureaucratic, administrative, and business Italian. Indicativamente, i lavori dureranno tre mesi means the works will last approximately three months. It softens a statement by signalling that the figure or date is an estimate, not a commitment. More formal than circa or più o meno.

Examples

"I costi ammonteranno indicativamente a mille euro."

Natural Translation

The costs will amount to approximately one thousand euros.
