Usage Note
Teóricamente is used to flag that something holds in principle but may not apply in practice, much like English 'theoretically' or 'in theory.' It sits at sentence-initial position or before the main verb, and carries an implicit contrast with reality: Teóricamente funciona, pero en la práctica falla ('It works in theory, but fails in practice').
Examples
"Teóricamente puedes hacerlo solo."
Natural Translation
Theoretically, you can do it alone.
