Usage notes
- Actualmente is a false friend, and does not mean "actually", although it is frequently used with that meaning in Spanglish. To say "actually" in Spanish, use realmente (in the sense of "really"), verdaderamente (in the sense of "truthfully") or the phrase en realidad (in the sense of "contrary to an assumption").
