• unlauter

Adverb

lauter

Usage notes

• It is somewhat arbitrary to separate the sense “a lot, a bunch” (see the adjective) from the sense “exclusively, only” (adverb). Both often overlap and are not explicitly distinct in their construction. The distinction uninflected adjective versus adverb has been chosen here for simplicity, that is because the German synonyms and English translations tend to be of the respective parts of speech. — It may be well possible to analyse both senses as either adjectives or adverbs.

Synonyms

• ausschließlich
• lediglich
• nur
• alles
