True/truely. None is correct. In order to emphasize your description, you need an adverb, e.g., �really� - The view was really magnificent. One of the synonyms of �really� and the adverb of true is truly (not truely, which is a common spelling mistake), so you should say - �The view was truly magnificent�.
@Bruce, Les, Lynne, anyone... please correct me if I�m not right. You know I�m still learning.

Yes, Ruta is right, �The view was truly magnificent. � I �ve just come back from Asolo and it was truly wonderful.  Loved it. I think �truly � is a bt stronger and more heartfelt than �really �. |

I have just come across an article about "Global Britain" and here is a very short extract :
"We are a protagonist - a global Britain running a TRULY global foreign policy".
Just to show you another example. |
