radicalmente

radically

adverb rrah-dee-kahl-MEHN-teh Rare

Usage Note

Radicalmente intensifies adjectives and verbs to mean 'in a fundamental or extreme way': cambió radicalmente ('changed radically'), radicalmente diferente ('radically different'). It is a formal-to-neutral register word found heavily in journalism. Avoid overusing it as a filler intensifier — Spanish has totalmente, completamente, and absolutamente for weaker emphasis.

Examples

"La situación cambió radicalmente en un mes."

Natural Translation

The situation changed radically in a month.
