effectively

Usage Note

Efectivamente is used to confirm or corroborate something just said, roughly equivalent to 'indeed', 'exactly', or 'that's right'. Do not confuse it with eficazmente (effectively, achieving the intended result) or eficientemente (efficiently, with minimal effort). Efectivamente is about confirmation, not efficacy.

Examples

"Efectivamente, tenía razón desde el principio."

Natural Translation
