Usage Note
Técnicamente means 'from a technical standpoint' or, colloquially, 'strictly speaking'. Like its English counterpart, it has spread into informal speech to hedge a claim: técnicamente no estás equivocado ('technically you're not wrong'). It is formed regularly from the adjective técnico + -mente.
Examples
"Técnicamente, el contrato ya es válido."
Natural Translation
