“Definitely” is the correct spelling of the word.
“Definately” is incorrect and should not be used in English.
The word “definitely” means “without doubt” or “certainly”.
I definitely want to go see the new Spiderman movie in the cinema.
Do you want to go for ice cream?
Definitely
Definatly,Definantly,Definetly,Definently,Definitley,Defiantly
All of the words above are misspellings of “definitely” and should not be used when you want to use “definitely”,
“Defiantly” has a different meaning and means to show pride in obeying an authority.
How to remember how to spell “Definitely”
I must admit that I also have difficulty remembering how to spell “Definitely” and I am not alone as it regularly comes up as one of the most difficult words in the English language.
The way that I remember it is that it is double “i” as in “definitely” because most people misspell the word as “Definately” because that is how it sounds when it is spoken.
