Usage Note
Objetivamente derives from objetivo (objective). It is common in academic writing, journalism, and everyday argument to signal impartiality. The phrase ser objetivo (to be objective) uses ser, not estar, because objectivity is treated as an inherent quality rather than a temporary state. Its antonym is subjetivamente.
Examples
"Hay que analizar la situación objetivamente."
Natural Translation
We need to analyse the situation objectively.
