usually

ADVERB

1. (customarily)

a. por lo general

Usually, the professor does not accept assignments after the due date.Por lo general, el profesor no acepta tareas después de la fecha de entrega.

b. usualmente

What time do you usually leave for work?¿A qué hora usualmente sales para el trabajo?

c. normalmente

We usually meet at three o'clock but today we're meeting a little later.Normalmente nos encontramos a las tres, pero hoy vamos a encontrarnos un poco más tarde.

d. generalmente

1. (commonly)

a. generalmente

That dog has four legs! - They usually do. ¡Ese perro tiene cuatro patas! - Generalmente es así.

For whatever reason I normally use normalmente.

When combining with a verb (to usually do something), the verb soler can be used:

Suelo ir al parque los martes.

I usually go to the park on Tuesdays.

I'm afraid "suelo" is different. The adverb "usually" is commonly used as "usualmente." - Oshnaj, Sep 21, 2016

How then would you translate "suelo ir al parque los martes." - bosquederoble, Sep 21, 2016

"Suelo" does get the idea of "usually" in that sense. English doesn't have a verb like that. - Daniela2041, Sep 21, 2016

Thank you Daniela. :) - bosquederoble, Sep 21, 2016

I always think of "soler" as "habitually" which is pretty much synonymous with "usually" in this context. Question: In the past tense does "soler" give the impression of having used to do something habitually, but *no longer* doing it? - jellonz, Sep 21, 2016

@jellonz. That is correct most of the times. There are a few exceptions, depending on context. - Daniela2041, Sep 21, 2016

Gracias Dani. - jellonz, Sep 22, 2016
