I want to say,
Your situation is, without exaggerating, more severe than mine.
However, I want to replace "without exaggerating" with an adverb. Something like "undoubtedly".
Now I know the word "unexaggeratedly" has not been born yet, and that I can always use the same sentence I mentioned above, but I love using adverbs in this fashion. I'm curious to know if there's an antonym for the word "exaggeratedly".
Update
I absolutely appreciate anyone taking time to answer and comment. I read the answers, and I accepted @Boneist's answer. But then I thought, that actually doesn't answer my question. I needed a single word (an adverb in this case) to state and refute the idea of exaggeration.
- unarguably means:
it cannot be argued
- unquestionably means:
not questionable
Both of these do not refute exaggeration.
Same goes for other answers as well, namely, the most up-voted answer so far by @Ubi hatt:
- actually means:
As the truth or facts of a situation; really.
It has nothing to do with exaggeration!
Now, I don't want to invent words (i.e. unexaggeratedly, as suggested by @Toothrot). But maybe that's the only option?
