In a way that is very clear and easy to see or understand, so that no one can reasonably doubt it.
Användningsmönster:
manifestly [adjective/past participle]
Vanligt misstag:
Learners sometimes use "manifestly" in casual speech where it sounds too formal or stiff; in everyday conversation, "clearly" or "obviously" is usually more natural. Another common mistake is confusing "manifestly" (adverb) with "manifest" (adjective or verb), for example writing "This is manifestly injustice" instead of the correct "This is manifest injustice" or "This is manifestly unjust."
Synonymer
obviously (Very common and neutral; less formal than "manifestly.")
|
clearly (General and neutral; does not carry the slightly legal or argumentative tone that "manifestly" often has.)
|
patently (Formal like "manifestly" and often used in argumentative or legal contexts to stress that something is plainly true.)
|
evidently (Can suggest that the speaker is drawing a conclusion from evidence, while "manifestly" stresses that the truth is plain to see.)
Antonymer
subtly (Describes something that is not easy to see or understand, the opposite of being manifestly clear.)
|
obscurely (Suggests that something is expressed or appears in a hidden or unclear way, the reverse of being manifestly obvious.)
