Grammar & Structure Adverbs

Also means

so much (that)

Usage Note

Talmente is an intensifying adverb meaning 'so' or 'to such a degree', always followed by che (that) or an adjective/adverb it modifies — è talmente stanco che non riesce ad alzarsi ('he is so tired he cannot get up'). It is stronger and more emphatic than plain così (so). Do not confuse it with talmente tanto — the redundant form is informal.

Examples

"È talmente stanca da non parlare."

Natural Translation

She is so tired she cannot speak.
