Common mistake:
Learners often confuse "notably" with "noticeably". "Notably" is usually used to pick out an important example from a group (similar to "especially" or "in particular"), often with a comma before it: "Several students, notably Maria, passed." "Noticeably" usually means "in a way that can be easily seen" and is not typically used to introduce an example. Learners may also place "notably" too close to the word it modifies instead of at the start of the clause.
Meaning
especially; in particular
Collocations
most notably
|notably absent
|notably successful
|notably different
|notably higher
|notably in
Synonyms
especially (Very close in meaning and more common in everyday speech; slightly less formal than "notably".)
|
particularly (Almost interchangeable, but often a bit less formal and slightly more common in spoken English.)
|
in particular (A set phrase that functions similarly, usually starts or ends the clause instead of appearing mid‑clause.)
Antonyms
generally (Focuses on the whole or on typical cases, rather than picking out one important example.)
|
ordinarily (Suggests something is normal or not special, the opposite of highlighting something as important.)

Common mistake:
Learners sometimes use "notably" when "a little" or "slightly" would be more natural for small changes. "Notably" suggests a clear, noticeable difference. They may also confuse this meaning with the "especially" meaning; here, "notably" describes the degree of a change or quality, not a specific example.
Meaning
in a clearly notable way
Collocations
notably improved
|notably increased
|notably better
|notably higher
|notably more difficult
|notably weaker
Synonyms
