Breakdown of Concretamente, hablamos del precio.
Questions & Answers about Concretamente, hablamos del precio.
Concretamente is an adverb meaning specifically, more precisely, or to be specific. It signals that the speaker is narrowing the topic down to one particular point.
So it gives the sentence a nuance like:
- More specifically, we’re talking about the price.
- To be precise, we’re talking about the price.
In Spain, it sounds natural, though it is slightly more formal or structured than very casual speech. A very common alternative is en concreto.
Because concretamente is being used as a sentence-opening comment word, similar to English specifically at the start of a sentence.
So:
- Concretamente, hablamos del precio.
works like:
- Specifically, we’re talking about the price.
The comma helps separate that introductory adverb from the main statement.
If you move it, the punctuation can change:
- Hablamos concretamente del precio.
This is also possible, but it feels slightly different in emphasis.
