personalmente

personally

adverb pehr-soh-nahl-MEN-teh Less Common

Usage Note

Personalmente either signals that the speaker is giving a personal opinion (personalmente, prefiero el café) or that something is done in person rather than by proxy (firmó personalmente el documento). This ambiguity usually resolves from context. In formal speech, en persona is a common synonym for the 'in person' sense.

Examples

"Personalmente, prefiero el té al café."

Natural Translation

Personally, I prefer tea to coffee.
