Today’s word is: violentamente vee-oh-lehn-tah-mehn’-teh (adverb) which means violently.
Examples
1. El tornado arrasó violentamente el pequeño pueblo; no quedó ni un edificio.
The tornado violently destroyed the little town; there wasn’t a building left.
2. Tuvieron que llevar al jugador de fútbol americano al hospital después de ser tacleado especialmente violentamente.
They had to take the football player to the hospital after having been tackled especially violently.
I live in a small Georgia town that you most likely have never heard of and I LOVE it! My house is more than full as I am a single mother of four & caregiver to my aging mother and uncle. Lover of all things Outlander. Goes to the beat of her own drum woman.

Such a word we hope to never use. Just after reading about the violent murder of the Michigan blogger. I do appreciate these lessons as my kids are learning Spanish and I always wanted to. Thanks!
Thank you for posting another Spanish word of the week. Hopefully, this one doesn’t come in handy as much as some of the others you’ve posted, but you never know when it might be helpful. I like the way the word sounds, though.
It’s a bummer that I might get to use this word this week. we have a snow/ice storm headed our way. t is supposed to be a good one. Fingers crossed that it misses us. Thank you for doing these each week!
Interesting that even if you didn’t know Spanish you could probably guess what the word meant. Hopefully I won’t have to think of that word too much in my life.
