sorprendentemente
/soɾpɾenˌdenteˈmente/ · B2 · adv
surprisingly
😲 sorprendente = surprising + mente (mind/manner) → surprising-ly
Sorprendente means surprising, and the suffix -mente works like English -ly (from Latin mente, 'in a manner'). Sound cue: sor-PREN-den-te-MEN-te, like 'sore prendin' mentally', with stress on PREN and MEN.
