quitament
Even
Quitament means even: it points to the surprising one.
How It Works
| Quitament before | Example |
|---|---|
| the subject | Quitament lo mètge es malaut. |
| a day | Trabalham quitament lo dimenge. |
| a time | Quitament de nuèch fa caud. |
| an object | Mon fraire parla quitament tres lengas. |
In a negative sentence, it comes after pas and means not even: Maria pòt pas quitament parlar. At the head of a phrase, quitament pas also means not even.
Quitament is the word the dictionaries give for even. You may also see même in some texts; this course writes quitament.
Quitament is an adverb, so it never changes for gender or number. It stands before the word it stresses, and moving it changes what is stressed.
