Padron ng paggamit:
genuinely [adjective] / genuinely [feel/think/believe] that [clause]
Karaniwang pagkakamali:
Learners often confuse "genuinely" with "generally" because they look similar. "Genuinely" means "in a real, honest way", while "generally" means "in most cases" or "usually". Another mistake is using "genuinely" where simple "really" is more natural in very casual speech; however, "genuinely" is fine and slightly more formal or precise.
