[edit]wenigstens
- at least
- Synonyms: mindestens, zumindest
Usage notes
[edit]- Regarding the slight distinction between mindestens and zumindest, explained in the latter lemma, wenigstens can be used in both ways and is therefore a good choice in any case of doubt, although it is overall the least frequent of the three adverbs.
