Usage Note

Prácticamente is used as an intensifier meaning 'almost' or 'virtually': prácticamente terminé (I've practically finished). It is interchangeable with casi in most everyday contexts, but prácticamente carries a slightly more formal tone. Do not confuse with de forma práctica (in a practical way), which describes manner rather than approximation.

Examples

"El trabajo está prácticamente terminado."

Natural Translation

The work is practically finished.
