in an aesthetically pleasing way
In a way that looks or sounds very nice and pretty.
Schema d'uso:
[someone]/[something] [verb] beautifully

2
very well or successfully
In a way that works very well or has a very good result.
Schema d'uso:
[something] works/turns out beautifully
Errore comune:
Learners may think 'beautifully' is only about looks. In this sense, it can also mean 'very well' or 'very successfully', even when nothing is physically beautiful (for example, *'The plan worked beautifully.'*). Another mistake is using the adjective instead: *'The plan worked beautiful.'* should be *'worked beautifully.'*
Sinonimi
perfectly (Focuses on having no mistakes or problems; slightly more absolute than 'beautifully'.)
|
excellently (More formal and evaluative; sounds like a judgment or grade.)
|
flawlessly (Emphasizes the complete absence of errors or defects.)
Contrari
poorly (Emphasizes that something is done in a low-quality or ineffective way.)
