In a way that is unlike anything or anyone else; sometimes used to mean ‘especially’ or ‘very’ before an adjective.
Padrão de uso:
uniquely [adjective]
Erro comum:
Learners often confuse “unique” and “uniquely”. Use “unique” before a noun (e.g., “a unique chance”) and “uniquely” before an adjective or verb (e.g., “uniquely qualified”, “reacts uniquely”). Another mistake is using “uniquely” when they only mean “only”: “She is the only person here” is better than “She is uniquely the person here,” which sounds unnatural.
Sinônimos
distinctively (Focuses on having a special feature that clearly marks something out as different, without the strong idea of being the only one.)
|
especially (Common everyday intensifier for degree; lacks the literal idea of being the only one of its kind.)
|
exceptionally (Stresses a very high degree, often of quality or difficulty, more than the idea of being one of a kind.)
Antônimos
ordinarily (Suggests something is normal or usual, the opposite of being one of a kind.)
|
typically (Means ‘in a usual or expected way’, contrasting with being different from all others.)
