When you're speaking Portuguese at an A2 level, you're starting to describe things with a bit more nuance. 'Admiradamente' is a great adverb to add to your vocabulary because it lets you express how something is done or how it appears.
Think of situations where something is done in a way that shows admiration or surprise. For example, if someone looks at a beautiful painting, they might look at it 'admiradamente'.
It's similar to saying 'with admiration' or 'amazingly' in English. Practicing with words like this will make your Portuguese sound more natural and expressive.
When you encounter the word admiradamente, think of something that is done with admiration or in an astonishing manner. It's an adverb, so it describes how an action is performed.
You might use it when someone looks at something with great wonder, or when an event unfolds in a surprisingly impressive way. For example, if someone observed a beautiful sunset with great appreciation, you could say they looked at it admiradamente.
When you want to say that something is done in an admirable or astonishing way, you can use the adverb "admiradamente." It's often used to describe how someone performs an action, indicating a sense of wonder or praise. For example, if someone sings so beautifully that it's astonishing, you could say they sang "admiradamente."
You'll also find it useful when describing a situation that causes surprise or amazement. Imagine a magic trick that leaves everyone speechless; you could describe the trick as having been performed "admiradamente." It's a versatile word for expressing admiration or astonishment in various contexts.
When you encounter the Portuguese adverb "admiradamente" at the C2 level, you should be able to appreciate its nuanced usage beyond simple translation. While it fundamentally means "admiringly" or "astonishingly," at this advanced stage, you'll see it deployed in contexts where it subtly conveys not just the act of admiration, but also the unexpected or remarkable quality of something that elicits such a feeling. Consider how it can elevate a description, implying a deep, almost involuntary sense of wonder. Your mastery will be evident in your ability to choose "admiradamente" over simpler adverbs to precisely articulate a profound sense of awe or surprise in both spoken and written communication.

§ Where you actually hear this word
When you're learning a new language, it's easy to get stuck on definitions. But to really learn a word, you need to know where and how people use it. 'Admiradamente' is one of those words you'll hear in various situations, especially when someone is expressing strong positive feelings or surprise.
Let's look at some common scenarios:
- At work: Imagine a colleague presenting a brilliant idea. You might hear someone describe their reaction using 'admiradamente'. It conveys a sense of respect and awe for their work.
- In school: A teacher might talk about a student who solved a complex problem in an unexpected way. They could use 'admiradamente' to show how impressed they were.
- In the news: News reports often use adverbs to describe reactions to events. If a public figure achieves something remarkable, a journalist might use 'admiradamente' to characterize the public's positive response.
- In everyday conversation: This is where you'll most likely encounter it. If someone is telling a story about something amazing they saw or experienced, they might use 'admiradamente' to emphasize their wonder.
§ Examples in context
Here are some practical examples to help you understand how 'admiradamente' fits into real Portuguese sentences. Pay attention to the verbs it modifies, as this will often give you a clue about its meaning in that specific context.
Ele olhou para a obra de arte admiradamente. (He looked at the artwork admiringly.)
In this example, 'admiradamente' describes how he looked at the artwork, indicating a deep appreciation.
A notícia foi recebida admiradamente por todos. (The news was received astonishingly by everyone.)
Here, 'admiradamente' tells you about the general reaction to the news, suggesting a widespread positive surprise.
Ela observou o mágico realizar o truque admiradamente. (She watched the magician perform the trick with admiration.)
This sentence uses 'admiradamente' to describe the manner in which she observed the magic trick, highlighting her sense of wonder.
O progresso da equipe foi admiradamente rápido. (The team's progress was astonishingly fast.)
In this case, 'admiradamente' amplifies 'rápido' (fast), showing that the speed of progress was noteworthy and surprising.
§ How to use 'admiradamente' yourself
To integrate 'admiradamente' into your own Portuguese, think about situations where you would naturally express admiration or astonishment in English. Then, try to construct sentences where 'admiradamente' fits.
- When describing someone's reaction: Eles olharam admiradamente para o novo design. (They looked admiringly at the new design.)
- When emphasizing a surprising quality: O resultado foi admiradamente bom. (The result was astonishingly good.)
Practice using it in different contexts, and you'll find it becomes a natural part of your Portuguese vocabulary.
§ Mistakes people make with this word
Alright, let's talk about admiradamente. It's a useful adverb, but like many words, learners often make a few common blunders. Avoiding these will make your Portuguese sound much more natural. Let's break them down.
§ Mistake 1: Confusing it with "amazing" or "wonderful"
This is probably the most frequent mistake. While admiradamente implies astonishment, it specifically means "admiringly" or "astonishingly" in the sense of causing admiration. It doesn't mean "amazing" as an adjective, or "wonderfully" in a general positive sense. You can't use it to describe a delicious meal or a great movie directly. Think of it as how an action is performed, not the inherent quality of something.
Ele olhou para a obra de arte admiradamente. (He looked at the artwork admiringly.)
Here, it describes his action of looking, showing his admiration for the art. You wouldn't say, "A comida foi admiradamente" to mean "The food was amazing." For that, you'd use adjectives like incrível (incredible), maravilhosa (wonderful), or deliciosa (delicious).
§ Mistake 2: Overusing it
While admiradamente is a good word, it's not one you'll use every day. It carries a strong connotation of deep admiration or astonishment. If you find yourself trying to use it in every other sentence to express a general positive feeling, you're likely overdoing it. Think about the intensity of the emotion you want to convey. Are you truly expressing profound admiration or just mild approval?
- Bad Example:
- O filme foi admiradamente. (The movie was admiringly/astonishingly.) - Incorrect. Use O filme foi incrível. (The movie was incredible.)
Its usage is more specific than a general adverb of quality. Consider if a simpler, more direct adverb or adjective would be more appropriate for what you want to say.
§ Mistake 3: Misplacing it in a sentence
Adverbs in Portuguese generally follow the verb they modify, or they can sometimes be placed at the beginning of the sentence for emphasis. While admiradamente is flexible, placing it awkwardly can make your sentence sound clunky or unnatural.
- Correct Placement Examples:
- Ele cantou admiradamente. (He sang admiringly.)
- Admiradamente, ela terminou o projeto em tempo recorde. (Astonishingly, she finished the project in record time.)
In the first example, it follows the verb cantou. In the second, it starts the sentence, emphasizing the astonishing nature of the event. Avoid putting it between parts of a verb phrase or in places where it doesn't clearly modify an action.
§ Mistake 4: Using it as an adjective
This might seem obvious, but because its English equivalents can sometimes function adjectivally (e.g., "an astonishing feat"), learners might mistakenly try to use admiradamente to describe a noun directly. Admiradamente is an adverb. It modifies verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs, not nouns.
- Incorrect Usage:
- Foi um momento admiradamente. (It was an admiringly/astonishingly moment.) - Incorrect.
Instead, you would use an adjective like admirável (admirable) or surpreendente (surprising/astonishing). For example: Foi um momento admirável. (It was an admirable moment.) or Foi um momento surpreendente. (It was a surprising moment.)
§ Key Takeaways for Using "admiradamente"
- Focus on Actions: Use it to describe how an action is performed, specifically with admiration or astonishment.
- Context is King: Reserve it for situations where true admiration or astonishment is being expressed.
- Adverb, Not Adjective: Remember its grammatical role. It modifies verbs, not nouns.
By keeping these points in mind, you'll use admiradamente correctly and enrich your Portuguese vocabulary with precision. Good job!
§ What "admiradamente" Means
The Portuguese adverb "admiradamente" (pronounced: ahd-mee-rah-DAH-men-tee) is a useful word to express a sense of wonder, surprise, or admiration. It's often used to describe how an action is performed or how something is perceived, carrying the nuance of being impressed or astonished.
- Definition
- Admiringly; astonishingly; in a way that expresses admiration or astonishment.
Think of it as adding a layer of impressed observation to your descriptions. It's not just that something happened, but that it happened in a remarkable or awe-inspiring way.
§ How to Use "admiradamente"
"Admiradamente" is an adverb, so it typically modifies verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. It tells you how something is done or to what extent something is true.
Ela olhou para a pintura admiradamente.
She looked at the painting admiringly.
Ele cantou admiradamente bem.

§ Similar Words and When to Use "admiradamente"
While "admiradamente" expresses admiration or astonishment, other adverbs can convey similar feelings but with slightly different nuances. Understanding these differences will help you choose the best word for your context.
- Surpreendentemente (Surprisingly): This is probably the closest in meaning when "admiradamente" means "astonishingly." However, "surpreendentemente" focuses purely on the unexpected nature of something, without necessarily implying admiration.
Surpreendentemente, ele chegou cedo.
Surprisingly, he arrived early. (It was unexpected, but not necessarily admirable.)
- Maravilhosamente (Wonderfully, Marvelously): This adverb emphasizes the wonderful or marvelous quality of something. While it often implies admiration, it focuses more on the inherent goodness or beauty.
Ela dançou maravilhosamente.
She danced wonderfully. (Focus on the quality of the dancing being wonderful.)
- Espantosamente (Amazingly, Astoundingly): Very similar to "admiradamente" when it means "astonishingly." "Espantosamente" often carries a stronger sense of being taken aback or left speechless by something. It can be used in contexts where the surprise is quite significant.
O progresso foi espantosamente rápido.
The progress was amazingly fast. (Emphasizing the extreme speed.)
In summary, while these words share some common ground, "admiradamente" uniquely captures the idea of doing something in a way that commands respect or deep appreciation. It's about observing something with an appreciative gaze, whether it's a skill, a sight, or an outcome.
Os arquitetos projetaram o edifício admiradamente.
The architects designed the building admiringly (or, in an astonishingly good way). (Here, it suggests the design itself evoked admiration.)
How Formal Is It?
"O arquiteto contemplava admiravelmente a obra de arte."
"Ela olhou admiradamente para o pôr do sol."
"Fiquei de boca aberta com o show de luzes."
"O menino olhou para o mágico com os olhos brilhando."

Fun Fact

Frequently Asked Questions
10 questionsThink of the English word 'admire.' 'Admiradamente' is basically 'admiringly' in Portuguese. Associate the 'admira-' part with admiration, and the '-mente' ending is common for adverbs, similar to '-ly' in English.
Yes, you can! While its primary meaning is 'admiringly,' it also carries the sense of 'astonishingly' or 'surprisingly.'
Example:
Ela cantou tão bem, admiradamente, que todos aplaudiram.
(She sang so well, astonishingly, that everyone applauded.)
They are very close in meaning and often interchangeable. 'Admiravelmente' usually emphasizes the admirable quality of something, while 'admiradamente' focuses more on the act of admiring or being astonished. However, in many contexts, either would work fine.
You use it just like an adverb in English, describing how an action is performed.
Example:
Ele olhou para a obra de arte admiradamente.
(He looked at the artwork admiringly.)
No, 'admiradamente' almost always has a positive or neutral connotation. It expresses admiration, wonder, or astonishment, which are generally not negative feelings.
They both mean 'admiringly.' 'Admiradamente' is a single adverb, more direct. 'Com admiração' is a prepositional phrase ('with admiration'). Both are correct.
Example:
Ela ouviu a história admiradamente.
(She listened to the story admiringly.)
Ela ouviu a história com admiração.
(She listened to the story with admiration.)
Yes, it's a fairly common word. You'll hear it and read it in various contexts, especially when people are expressing positive reactions to something or someone.
You can, but it usually refers to a human's reaction *to* an inanimate object. You wouldn't say 'The building stood admiradamente,' but you could say:
Example:
Ele observava o pôr do sol admiradamente.
(He observed the sunset admiringly.)
Besides 'admiravelmente' (as mentioned), you could use phrases like 'com espanto' (with astonishment) or 'com admiração' (with admiration), depending on the exact nuance you want. 'Surpreendentemente' (surprisingly) is also a good synonym when 'admiradamente' means 'astonishingly'.
The verb is 'admirar' (to admire). From 'admirar' comes the adjective 'admirado' (admired/astonished) and then the adverb 'admiradamente'.
