adverb ( enormously, immensely, tremendously )

Sylyon1976 is the official corrector for the Spanish sentences. Please correct your posts according to her suggestions. There are many native English speakers here, most of us can offer great suggestions to the English sentences. I will do my best to go through them all, too. Use today's Word of the Day in your own Spanish sentence (and include the English translation as well). Try to use the word in a completely new way and vote on the sentences you like best. The winner will be chosen based upon the correct use of the word as well as the number of votes.

Guidelines:

Write sentences at least 5 words long, but don't write a paragraph either. Write your Spanish sentence, but include the English translation as well. Make the corrections suggested by other users and moderators in the comments section (try not to use personal pronouns unless absolutely necessary). Use your own words! (Don't use a translator, copy from a book, use song lyrics, etc.) Please keep political, religious or personal statements to a minimum. This is a practice game to help with using a new vocabulary word! Have fun experimenting with Spanish.

¿Por qué no puedo estar "enormamente" agradecido como los demás, y tengo que estar "tremendamente" agradecido? - Jubilado, Sep 15, 2013
Perdóname Jubilado, si puedes usar "enormemente". En español puedes usar cualquiera de las dos, pero yo entiendo que es la palabra del día. Solo ví tu oración en inglés y de ahí hice la traducción. Perdón. - 00e46f15, Sep 15, 2013
Gracias, pensé que fue así, pero quería estar seguro y seguir tu consejo. Voy a cambiarlo ahora. - Jubilado, Sep 15, 2013

Jenny, in this case, you do not use "enormemente". It is better if you use ... "cuando está tan llena de gente", or "cuando está tremendamente llena de gente". Enormemente llena de gente sounds like it is hugely full of people. I hope I explained it right - 00e46f15, Sep 15, 2013
I think so, it seems to be used more to describe feelings. Enormously grateful, excited , relieved...Is that right? - jennysk, Sep 16, 2013
