básicamente
/ˌbasikaˈmente/ · B1 · adv
basically
🧱 básica + -mente = basic + -ly, so basic-ly: basically
Spanish turns adjectives into adverbs by adding -mente to the feminine form, the way English adds -ly. Básica (basic) + mente gives básicamente. The accent stays on the bá- of básica, even though -mente has its own stress on men.
