Usage Note

Realmente is a stronger, more formal intensifier than davvero or veramente; it asserts factual reality rather than simply emphasising. In speech Italians usually prefer davvero or sul serio; realmente sounds more bookish and is common in written registers and journalism.

Examples

"È realmente accaduto ieri."

Natural Translation

It really happened yesterday.
