attentively

Usage Note

Attentamente is formed from the feminine adjective attenta + -mente, following the standard Italian adverb-formation rule. It often collocates with leggere ('to read carefully'), ascoltare ('to listen carefully'), and guardare ('to watch carefully'). The sign Attenti al cane ('Beware of the dog') uses the related adjective attento rather than the adverb.

Examples

"Leggi attentamente le istruzioni prima di iniziare."

Natural Translation
