ragionevolmente

reasonably; fairly

adverb rah-joh-neh-vol-MEN-teh Rare

Usage Note

Ragionevolmente derives from ragionevole (reasonable) and is used both to mean 'to a reasonable degree' (è ragionevolmente sicuro — it is reasonably safe) and, in legal or formal Italian, 'in a reasoned manner'. It is a long word but follows the standard Italian adverb formation: adjective stem + -mente. In everyday speech abbastanza or in modo ragionevole may feel more natural.

Examples

"Il prezzo è ragionevolmente basso per la qualità."

Natural Translation

The price is reasonably low for the quality.
