Usage Note
Sufficientemente is the formal adverbial form of sufficiente (sufficient). In everyday speech Italians more commonly use abbastanza (enough) or a sufficienza, but sufficientemente appears in formal, written, and academic registers: non è sufficientemente chiaro means 'it is not sufficiently clear'. It is invariable.
