to a degree not typical
More (or less) than is normal or usual.
รูปแบบการใช้:
unusually [adjective/adverb]
ข้อผิดพลาดที่พบบ่อย:
Learners sometimes confuse "unusually" with "usually" (which means "in most cases"). For example, "He is usually tall" is incorrect; it should be "He is unusually tall" to mean more tall than normal. Another mistake is putting it in the wrong place in the sentence, such as "He unusually is tall"; the natural order is "He is unusually tall." Learners may also overuse "very" and avoid "unusually", even when they want to show that something is more than just "very" and also surprising for that situation.

คำตรงข้าม
normally (Describes the usual or expected degree, without anything special.)
|
typically (Emphasizes what is standard or characteristic, the opposite of being out of the ordinary.)

รูปแบบการใช้:
[someone] behaves/acts unusually
ข้อผิดพลาดที่พบบ่อย:
Learners may not see the difference between using "unusually" for degree ("She is unusually quiet" = more quiet than normal) and for manner ("She is behaving unusually" = her behavior is not normal for her). They may also use stronger words like "weirdly" when the speaker only wants to say something is slightly out of character, where "unusually" would be more neutral.

strangely (Stronger feeling of something being odd or hard to explain.)
|
oddly (Similar meaning, with a slightly more informal tone and a focus on how odd the behavior seems.)
คำตรงข้าม
