What does Minimally really mean?

Alright, so "minimally" is a way of saying that something is happening or being done to a small degree or to the smallest extent possible. It's like doing something just a little bit, not a whole lot. For example, you might say, "I'm only minimally interested in that topic," which means you're only a tiny bit interested, not a whole bunch.

Another way to think about it is like when you're filling up a glass with water. If you only pour just a little bit of water into the glass, you're doing it minimally. You're not filling it up all the way, just a small amount.

So, when we say something is happening minimally, it's like it's happening at the smallest level possible. It's kind of like doing the bare minimum or doing just a tiny bit of something, not a lot.

I hope that helps you understand what "minimally" means! Let me know if you have any other questions about it.
