in a strange or odd way

In a way that feels strange or not normal.

用法模式: peculiarly [adjective]
常见错误:
Learners sometimes use "peculiarly" when they only mean "especially" or "very." In most everyday situations, use "very" or "really" for emphasis, and reserve "peculiarly" for when something feels strange or not normal.
近义词
strangely (A very common, neutral alternative; slightly less formal-sounding than "peculiarly.") | oddly (Emphasizes the feeling of something being odd or unexpected, similar tone to "peculiarly.")
反义词
normally (Focuses on things happening in the usual or expected way, the opposite of something happening peculiarly.) | typically (Suggests happening in the usual or standard way, not in a strange or unusual way.)

especially or characteristically

In a way that is special to one person, group, or thing, and not to others.

用法模式: peculiarly [adjective/past participle]
常见错误:
Learners often think "peculiarly" only means "strangely." In formal writing, it can also mean "especially" or "in a way that is very typical of," as in "humor that is peculiarly British." In casual speech, "especially" or "particularly" is usually preferred.
近义词
particularly (Very close in meaning, but more common and neutral; does not always carry the idea of "distinctive" or "uniquely" in the same way.) | distinctively (Stresses features that clearly mark something out as different; often interchangeable but more focused on visible or clear differences.)
反义词
generally (Suggests something is true in a broad or usual way, not in a way that is special to one person or group.) | commonly (Highlights that something is shared by many, not uniquely or especially tied to one specific case.)
搭配
peculiarly suited |peculiarly appropriate |peculiarly relevant |peculiarly his own |peculiarly British |peculiarly modern
