In Spanish, adding '-mente' to the end of an adjective is just like adding '-ly' in English to describe how something is done.
The Accent Secret
Even though 'fuertemente' doesn't have a written accent mark, you pronounce it as if it has two 'stress' points: one on 'fuer' and the main one on 'men'.
Using it for people's traits
