Usage Note

Indirectamente is formed regularly from indirecto + -mente. It is used in both formal and conversational registers. A near synonym is de manera indirecta. Learners should note that Spanish often prefers adverbial phrases over long -mente adverbs in careful prose, so de forma indirecta is stylistically interchangeable.

Examples

"Me lo hizo saber indirectamente."

Natural Translation

He let me know about it indirectly.
