Usage notes

  • Often pairs with che or da: talmente bello che..., talmente stanco da non uscire.
  • Stronger and more emphatic than molto. Use it when a consequence follows, not just for simple intensity.
  • Don't use it alone before nouns; say così tanto tempo or talmente tanto tempo, not talmente tempo.
