democráticamente

democratically

adverb deh-moh-KRAH-tee-kah-MEN-teh Rare

Usage Note

Democráticamente is formed by adding -mente to the feminine form of democrático. In Spanish, when two adverbs in -mente appear in sequence, only the second takes the suffix: libre y democráticamente elegido ('freely and democratically elected'). The stress in adverbs with -mente falls on the syllable that carried the accent in the base adjective.

Examples

"El presidente fue elegido democráticamente por los ciudadanos."

Natural Translation

The president was democratically elected by the citizens.
