Usage Note

Miracolosamente intensifies verbs and adjectives to indicate an outcome that seems beyond normal expectation. It is used both literally (a religious miracle) and hyperbolically in everyday speech (è miracolosamente sopravvissuto = 'he miraculously survived'). Being a long adverb, it typically follows the verb in Italian prose.

Examples

"Il ferito è sopravvissuto miracolosamente all'incidente."
