to a medium degree
To a medium level; not very high and not very low.
Padron ng paggamit:
moderately [adjective/adverb]; to [verb] moderately
Karaniwang pagkakamali:
Learners sometimes use *moderate* instead of *moderately* before adjectives, for example *a moderate big room* instead of *a moderately big room*. Another common mistake is to use *moderately* together with other strong adverbs like *very* (*very moderately cold*), which sounds unnatural. Learners may also confuse *moderately* with *medium* and say *the price is medium* instead of *the price is moderately high*.

at a medium speed in music
In written music, play at a medium speed, not fast and not slow.
Padron ng paggamit:
used alone as a tempo marking on [music]
Karaniwang pagkakamali:
Learners may not realize that *moderately* on a score is a technical tempo instruction and try to translate it as part of a normal sentence. They may also confuse this with general degree use and expect it to modify an adjective directly, instead of understanding it as a stand‑alone marking.
Mga kasingkahulugan
