ragionevolmente
reasonably; fairly
adverb rah-joh-neh-vol-MEN-teh Rare
Usage Note
Ragionevolmente derives from ragionevole (reasonable) and is used both to mean 'to a reasonable degree' (è ragionevolmente sicuro — it is reasonably safe) and, in legal or formal Italian, 'in a reasoned manner'. It is a long word but follows the standard Italian adverb formation: adjective stem + -mente. In everyday speech abbastanza or in modo ragionevole may feel more natural.
Examples
"Il prezzo è ragionevolmente basso per la qualità."
Natural Translation
The price is reasonably low for the quality.
