💡 Grammar Points
The '-mente' Ending
Just like the '-ly' ending in English (like 'slowly'), the Spanish ending '-mente' turns an adjective into a word that describes how an action is done.
Placement in a Sentence
You usually put this word right after the verb (the action word) or at the very end of the sentence.
❌ Common Pitfalls
Gender Changes
Mistake: "Using 'emocionalmenta' when talking about a woman."
Correction: Words ending in '-mente' always stay the same. They don't change for men or women.
⭐ Usage Tips
Sounding More Natural
While this word is correct, Spanish speakers often say 'en el plano emocional' (on the emotional level) in formal writing to avoid using too many long words ending in -mente.
