Usage notes
- Use sicuramente for confident statements. For a stronger, more categorical tone, definitely is often meglio reso by decisamente or assolutamente.
- Very common in speech to soften commitment: Ti chiamo sicuramente domani sounds natural, but it still implies strong confidence, not a vague maybe.
- It usually goes before the verb or after it for emphasis: Sicuramente verrà / Verrà sicuramente. Both are natural.
