What does Technically really mean?

Hey there! So you want to know what "Technically" means, right? Well, let me break it down for you in the simplest way possible.

Technically, when people say "technically," they usually mean that something is true or correct according to the facts or rules. It's like saying something is happening "by the book" or "by the rules." For example, let's say you have a toy car that needs to be wound up in order to move. If someone says, "Technically, the car should only move when you wind it up," they mean that according to the rules or the way it was designed, the car should only move when you wind it up. But of course, there might be some cases where the car moves even without winding it up, making it technically incorrect.

Now, there can be more than one definition of "technically," so let me give you another example. Imagine you're playing a game with your friends, and someone does something that seems like it shouldn't be allowed, but the rulebook doesn't say anything about it. In this case, someone might say, "Technically, what you did is not against the rules." Here, "technically" means that although it may feel wrong or unfair, strictly according to the rules, what they did is allowed.

To put it simply, "technically" is a way of saying that something is happening or being done according to the facts, rules, or the way things are supposed to be. It's like checking if things are being done the right way or following the proper procedures.

I hope this explanation helps you understand what "technically" means. Feel free to ask me any more questions if you're still not sure about something!
