to an unusual or high degree
Very; in a way that is much more than normal and may be surprising.
Padrão de uso:
remarkably [adjective/adverb]
Erro comum:
Learners sometimes use "remarkably" before a noun (e.g., *a remarkably weather*), but it is used before adjectives or adverbs (e.g., "remarkably good weather"). They may also confuse the adverb "remarkably" with the adjective "remarkable" (e.g., *a remarkably story* instead of "a remarkable story"). Avoid using another strong adverb directly with it (e.g., *very remarkably cold*), which usually sounds unnatural.
Sinónimos
extremely (More common and neutral; does not always suggest surprise the way "remarkably" often does.)
Antónimos
slightly (Shows only a small degree, the opposite of the high or unusual degree expressed by "remarkably".)

relation

introducing a surprising statement
Used at the start of a sentence to show that the next thing you say is surprising.
Padrão de uso:
Remarkably, [clause]
Erro comum:
Learners sometimes write *It is remarkably that…* (e.g., *It is remarkably that nobody came*). Instead, use "Remarkably" directly before the clause: "Remarkably, nobody came." They may also try to use the adjective form at the start (*Remarkable, nobody came*), which is incorrect here.
Sinónimos
surprisingly (Almost the same meaning and use; "remarkably" can sound slightly more formal or emphatic in writing.)
Antónimos
predictably (Signals that something is not surprising, the opposite of the surprise marked by "remarkably".)
