La palabra del día:
efectivamente
Pronunciación aproximada:
eh-fek-tee-vah-MEN-teh (The v in this word is pronounced somewhat like the English "v" but with the top teeth touching the lower lip instead of the two lips touching.) Listen
Significado:
really and truly, emphatically
Ejemplo:
¿Estamos de acuerdo? — ¡Efectivamente!
Traducción:
"Are we in agreement?" "Definitely!"
Aviso:
As in the example, this word is commonly used as an answer to a question. It can also be used as an adverb within a sentence to emphasize the truth of the statement. Efectivamente should not be used to mean "effectively," although it is commonly used for that purpose in poor translations from English.
