1
in a general way, not exactly
In a general way, not talking about small details or exact numbers.
Модель уживання:
broadly speaking, [clause]
Поширена помилка:
Learners sometimes confuse "broadly" with "badly" because of similar sound, but "broadly" means "in a general way" and is not negative. Another common mistake is using it where "completely" or "totally" is needed; "broadly" does not mean 100% true, only true in general.
Синоніми
generally (Very close in meaning; often interchangeable, especially in statements about overall truth.)
|
roughly (Suggests a less precise estimate and can sound a bit more informal or approximate than "broadly.")
Антоніми
specifically (Focuses on precise details, which is the opposite of talking in broad, general terms.)
|
exactly (Emphasizes complete accuracy instead of a general or approximate description.)

2
widely, across many people or areas
In a way that touches or includes many people or things, not just a small group.
Модель уживання:
[something] is broadly [adjective]
Поширена помилка:
Learners sometimes use "broadly" here when they mean "internationally" or "globally". "Broadly" only means many people or areas, not necessarily around the whole world. Also, some learners overuse this sense where the more common "in general" sense (meaning 1) would be more natural.
Синоніми
widely (Very similar in meaning, especially when describing support or acceptance across many people or places.)
|
extensively (Stresses large scale or great extent; sometimes sounds more formal or technical than "broadly.")
Антоніми
narrowly (Suggests that only a small group or limited area is included, which is the opposite of broad coverage.)
|
locally (Focuses on a small or specific area rather than many places or a wide area.)

with a wide smile
Smiling in a big way so that the mouth is very wide.
Модель уживання:
to smile broadly at [someone]
Поширена помилка:
Learners sometimes think "broadly" here means "noisily" or "for a long time". In this sense it describes the size or width of the smile, not the sound or the time.
Синоніми
widely (When used with "smile" or "grin", it means almost the same thing: that the mouth is very wide.)
Антоніми
slightly (Describes a small or weak smile, the opposite of a big, broad one.)
|
faintly (Suggests a very small or almost hidden smile, not a wide, open one.)
