actualmente

/aɡˌtwalˈmente/ · B1 · adv

at present, currently, now, nowadays

⏰ actual + -mente (-ly): in Spanish, actual means current, not real

False friend: Spanish actual means present or current, like English actual events in the news. Add -mente, the Spanish -ly, and you get currently. To say actually, Spanish uses en realidad.
