Learners may confuse this sense with a purely quantitative meaning and say things like *"substantially full"* in casual speech, where "almost full" or "nearly full" would sound more natural. "Substantially" in this sense is more formal and is common with words like "similar," "the same," "identical," "unchanged," and "complete."
