Hello Hannah and Welcome to the SpanishDict forumgrin

You could use: usualmente = usually

por regla general = as a general rule

regularmente = regularly

or even como siempre = as usual

A common way of expressing a usual pattern of behaviour is to use the verb soler = to be accustomed to/to be in the habit of doing something

e.g. Señor Sanchez suele ir al parque a las once de la mañana para dar un paseo

= Mr Sanchez usually goes to the park at 11 o' clock in the morning to have a walk

I hope these examples help but it would, of course be very helpful if you could provide the full sentence you wish to write/translate as the accuracy of any translation depends so much on knowing the context meaning varies with context!wink

I hope this helps grin

Excellent answer. Personally, I like the rhythm of ¨suele¨ where it can be used. Trips off the tongue easily compared to the ¨mente¨alternatives. - TejanoViejo, Apr 30, 2011

If you can't come up with a different Spanish translation, try translating a different English word, like average or optimum, depending on your context.

"Normally" in the sense of "usually" you could say "por regla general". Like Leatha said unless you want to use a different word for "normally" than there isn't another word for "normally". Hope this helps get the ball rolling. smile

"sin novedad" means "without novelty" or "not extraordinary", so those terms can also mean "normally".
