In a real and honest way, not pretending or lying.
사용 패턴：
[someone] sincerely [verb]
자주 하는 실수：
Learners sometimes confuse "sincerely" with "seriously". "I sincerely hope" means you are honest and genuine about your hope, while "I seriously hope" means you are very strong or intense in your hope. Learners also sometimes write "I am sincerely" without a following verb, but it must modify another verb, as in "I sincerely agree" or "I sincerely apologize."

polite ending in letters
Used at the end of a formal letter or email to close it in a polite way.
사용 패턴：
Sincerely, [name]
자주 하는 실수：
Learners sometimes mix up "Yours sincerely" and "Yours faithfully" in British English. Traditionally, "Yours sincerely" is used when you know the person's name ("Dear Ms Smith"), and "Yours faithfully" is used when you do not ("Dear Sir or Madam"). Many learners also forget the comma after "Sincerely," in emails, or they write *"Sincerely you"* instead of the correct fixed phrases "Sincerely" or "Sincerely yours".
유의어
kind regards (Common modern closing that is slightly less formal and a bit warmer in tone.)
|
best regards (Polite and friendly closing, often in business emails; a little more informal than "Sincerely".)
