Usage Note
Peligrosamente is built on peligroso (dangerous) plus the adverbial suffix -mente, following the standard Spanish pattern. It typically follows the verb or phrase it modifies: vive peligrosamente (lives dangerously). Like all long -mente adverbs, it can be replaced by de manera peligrosa in formal registers.
Examples
"Conducía peligrosamente por la autopista."
Natural Translation
He was driving dangerously on the highway.
