Frequently Asked Questions

Does 'eventualmente' mean the same as the English word 'eventually'?

Yes, for the most common meaning, they are the same: 'after a period of time, something happens.' However, in very formal Spanish, 'eventualmente' can sometimes suggest something happens 'by chance' or 'on occasion,' but this usage is rare and often avoided because of the confusion it causes. Stick to using it for 'in the end' or 'finally'.
