In the Spanish language, there are many words that we do not know how to write correctly, that is, they encourage us to make spelling mistakes. In the case of the word seriously or seriously, just that happens.
This word sounds exactly the same when written together as if it is written separately. This can cause us to get confused when it comes to writing the word correctly, since we are going to think that it is done in one way when it is later in another.
Also, as fast online writing with misspellings is very fashionable, there are many people who put the word seriously or seriously wrong, putting it all together when it should be written separately and vice versa in some cases. This means that when reading the misspelled word many times, our brain associates that word with being well written, something that is not always the case.
This will cause us to also put the misspelling, something that will make us lose prestige and make us look bad in front of many people, mainly as people who cannot write correctly and who need to polish their literary skills.
As with these two words, there is also another series of words in which the way to write them is not very clear. To find out how words like ah or conmigo are spelled, visit the rest of the articles in this section to learn a bit about how these words are spelled, something that will allow you to further expand your literary knowledge.
Without entertaining ourselves more with introductions, we are going to explain how this word is written, if it is written all together or if it is written separately, with the aim that you never put the word incorrectly again and you can have practically perfect writing, No errors of any kind and no misspelling.
Instructions to write seriously or seriously
- Word seriously is expression: The first thing we are going to do is explain the meaning of the word seriously, that is, explain what it means written separately, that is, what this word in particular means. We are going to do it as I always do in my articles based on the real Spanish academy, since it is the one that really decides if a word exists or not, the meaning of it and how it should be written. The expression seriously exists and is collected and is an expression that is used for two things, firstly, it is used to affirm that something is completely true “I am serious friend” and secondly, it is used as a response to a statement in the form of a question, as if trying to ask if they are kidding or if it’s true… “friend, I have cancer” -“really? This is the most common meaning of this word and the one that everyone knows and it can only be written this way when it is this meaning, that is, you cannot really put everything together for this expression, because it would not be used in the correct way.
- Word seriously is a verb: Now that the doubt about how to write the word seriously when we use it as an expression is resolved, surely you think that the word seriously does not exist or that it is misused. This word comes from the verb enseriar and if that exists, that is to say, that this word can only be used when we use this verb. The verb enseriar is a verb that means to get serious or to get serious. A very good example would be, “when they talk about his mother, Juanito gets serious” which would mean that Juanito gets angry or serious when people talk about his mother. This verb is rarely used in the Spanish language, since synonyms such as getting serious or getting angry are normally used, which are more popular and easier to remember. However, it never hurts to learn something new before going to bed.
- How not to get confused: As I always do in all my Spanish-language articles, I will explain a trick to avoid miswriting these words again and never making a mistake again by putting them right or wrong. I advise you not to use the verb to be serious, since it is out of use and people would not understand you when you speak. As for the expression seriously, to remember that it is written separately, think about its antonym, that is, in how to write what the opposite of this expression means, that is, the joking expression. If you try to put the expression joking all together it would be joking, a word that doesn’t sound right, that the correct one marks as wrong and that is not well written. So when you remember that joke doesn’t exist, you will also see how seriously everything together is not well written in this expression, but it is only written well as a verb.
