justamente

exactly, precisely

adverb hoos-tah-MEN-teh Rare

Also means

justly, fairly

Usage Note

Justamente most commonly means 'exactly' or 'precisely' in spoken Spanish — justamente eso means 'precisely that.' Its secondary sense of 'justly' or 'fairly' (tratados justamente, 'treated fairly') is more formal and less frequent in everyday conversation. Do not confuse with justo used as an adverb, which is interchangeable in the 'exactly' sense.

Examples

"Llegó justamente a tiempo."

Natural Translation

He arrived exactly on time.
