Use of detenidamente?

Use of detenidamente?

Hola a todos, Estoy escribiendo un exposé (una presentación) que necesito aprender de memoria por el examen de hablar en Español.

En el fin del exposé, necesitaré decir a la examinadora que tema me gustaría abordar. Así, tengo esta frase - puedo usar la palabra "detenidamente" significar "in detail" en ingles?

"Ahora, me gustaría hablar detenidamente del lince ibérico y el lobo ibérico."

Gracias. (feel free to correct the Spanish, I am still learning!)

In Puerto Rico we simply call it "reportaje investigativo". - 002067fe, Apr 18, 2011

Tal vez "detalladamente" sea una mejor opción.

I agree with Gekkosan - "detalladamente."

"Detenidamente" from "detenido" from "detener" could be used but in a completely different senario. If you were being detained by the police or in jail, you could colorfully say, ie: "Estoy detenidamente ocupado."

Yeah, it can definitely be used, it means "thoroughly".
