Usage Note
Obviamente is a sentence adverb meaning 'obviously' or 'clearly', used to signal that what follows should be evident. It is slightly more formal than claro or claro que sí. Overuse can sound condescending — learners should note that native speakers also use evidentemente and por supuesto in similar contexts.
Examples
"Obviamente, no iba a decir la verdad."
Natural Translation
Obviously, he was not going to tell the truth.
