Usage Note

Críticamente functions both as 'in a critical manner' (evaluating with rigour) and as 'critically' in the medical sense — un paciente críticamente enfermo (a critically ill patient). The two senses are context-dependent and rarely ambiguous. It is a formal adverb; in speech, speakers often rephrase with de forma crítica.

Examples

"El periodista analizó críticamente el discurso."

Natural Translation
