Error frecuente:
Learners sometimes use "thinly" when they mean "finely." Use "thinly" for flat slices (like bread or ham), and "finely" when you want many very small pieces (like chopped onions). Some learners also confuse "finely" with "finally"; "finally" means "at last" or "in the end," and is not used for cutting food.
Significado

|finely sliced

Sinónimos

|
minutely (More formal and less common; suggests extremely small pieces or details, not limited to food.)

Error frecuente:
Learners sometimes confuse "finely" with "finally." "Finely" describes quality or detail ("a finely written essay"), while "finally" means "after a long time" or "last" ("Finally, I finished my essay"). Another mistake is using the adjective "fine" instead of the adverb: say "finely made," not "fine made."
Significado
with great skill and detail
Colocaciones
finely crafted
|finely written
|finely made
|finely detailed
|finely worked
|finely executed
Sinónimos
carefully (General word; does not always suggest the high level of skill or elegance that "finely" can imply.)
|
meticulously (Stronger than "finely"; emphasizes extreme attention to detail, sometimes sounding more fussy.)
Antónimos
crudely (Suggests something done in a rough, simple, or unskilled way, without refinement.)
|
roughly (Focuses on lack of care or detail and a more basic, unfinished quality.)

Error frecuente:
Learners may not realize that "finely" here is close to "delicately" or "subtly" and try to translate it too literally as only "very small". Also, some mix it up with "finally"; remember that "finally" is about time, not about sensitivity or delicacy.
Significado

Colocaciones
finely tuned
|finely attuned
|finely balanced
|finely sensitive
|finely judged
|finely drawn
Sinónimos
