veramente

really

adverb veh-rah-MEHN-teh Less Common

Origin: from vero 'true' + -mente

Also means

truly

Usage Note

Veramente means 'really' or 'truly', but on its own it often softens a polite contradiction, as in Veramente, non sono d'accordo ('Well, actually, I disagree'). It is built from vera plus the adverbial suffix -mente, a regular adjective-to-adverb pattern.

Examples

veramente una bella giornata."

Natural Translation

It's really a beautiful day.

Literal Translation

Is really a beautiful day.
