integralmente

Integralmente is an adverb used in Spanish and Portuguese to mean completely, in full, or in an integral manner. It modifies verbs and, less commonly, adjectives or other adverbs to express thoroughness or totality of an action or state. The term derives from the adjective integral, which in turn comes from Latin integralis, from integer meaning whole or undivided.

In Spanish, integralmente is used in formal or literary contexts; its synonyms include completamente, por completo, a cabalidad. In Portuguese, it is likewise formal and common in written prose. For example: “El informe aborda integralmente los aspectos técnicos” in Spanish, and “Ele resolveu o problema integralmente” in Portuguese.

Notes and nuances: integralmente emphasizes completeness and wholesomeness of what is described, rather than merely speed or intensity. It is more common in formal writing and careful discourse; in everyday speech, speakers often prefer completamente or por completo.

In mathematical contexts, integralmente is uncommon and may be perceived as figurative or stylistic rather than technical. When describing mathematical concepts, it is better to use phrases such as de forma integral or simply avoid adverbial modifiers that could blur precision.

Regional usage tends to align with general register: it is understood across Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking regions, with higher frequency in formal prose in Spain, Portugal, and many Latin American contexts.
