Italian word
effettivamente
actually, indeed, in fact (confirming something)
Looks like
effectively
in a way that achieves the intended result
⚠️ The trap
'Effettivamente' means 'actually/indeed/in fact' (confirming something), NOT 'effectively' (achieving results well). 'The plan worked effectively' = 'il piano ha funzionato efficacemente'.
To say "in a way that achieves the intended result" in Italian:
efficacemente (for effectively)
"effettivamente" in English means:
actually, indeed, in fact (confirming something)
Example
"Effettivamente, hai ragione."
"Actually, you're right."
