Usage Note

Perlomeno is a single-word adverb equivalent to almeno, but slightly more emphatic and more common in spoken registers. It often introduces a concession: 'Non è perfetto, ma perlomeno funziona' ('It's not perfect, but at least it works'). Unlike almeno, perlomeno cannot be split in writing.

Examples

"Perlomeno hai provato."
