particularly

Usage Note

Specialmente singles something out for emphasis and overlaps with soprattutto. It often introduces the most relevant case, as in mi piace il mare, specialmente d'estate. The adjective behind it, speciale, keeps the soft 'sce' sound heard here.

Examples

"Mi piace viaggiare, specialmente in estate."

Natural Translation

I like to travel, especially in summer.

Literal Translation

To-me pleases to-travel, especially in summer.
