eventualmente

possibly

adverb eh-ben-twahl-MEN-teh Rare

Also means

occasionally

Usage Note

Eventualmente is a classic false friend: it means 'possibly' or 'occasionally' in Spanish, NOT 'eventually' (which is finalmente or al final). English-speaking learners almost always mistranslate it. Use eventualmente when something might happen under certain circumstances, not to mean 'in the end'.

Examples

"Eventualmente podríamos visitar ese país."

Natural Translation

We might possibly visit that country at some point.
