inevitablemente

inevitably

adverb ee-neh-bee-tah-bleh-MEN-teh Rare

Usage Note

Inevitablemente is one of the longest common adverbs in Spanish and is built regularly from inevitable + -mente. When two -mente adverbs appear in a list, Spanish drops the suffix from all but the last: clara e inevitablemente ('clearly and inevitably'). This rule applies to all adverbs in -mente and is a frequent exam point.

Examples

"Inevitablemente, el tiempo cambia todo."

Natural Translation

Inevitably, time changes everything.
