personalmente

/peɾˌsonalˈmente/ · B1 · adv

personally

🙋 personal + -mente (the Spanish -ly), so personally

Spanish forms adverbs by adding -mente to the feminine adjective, just as English adds -ly. Personal stays the same in both genders, so personal + mente gives personalmente. The ending comes from Latin mens, mentis, meaning mind, so it is literally with a personal mind.
