Notas de uso
- Use certamente in neutral or slightly formal speech; certo alone is often more conversational when answering yes.
- It usually goes before the verb or after it for emphasis: Certamente verrò / Verrò certamente.
- Stronger and more explicit than magari or forse; don't use it when you mean possibility rather than confidence.
