Notas de uso
- Use ufficialmente for status recognized by an authority; use formalmente for procedural or legal formality, even if not yet publicly recognized.
- Often placed before the verb or adjective: ufficialmente aperto, ufficialmente confermato. End position is possible but less natural in many cases.
- Common in news, bureaucracy, and announcements. In casual speech, davvero or in pratica may fit better if no official authority is involved.
