Cultural Tip
In Italian conversation, 'quasi' is often used to soften statements, making them sound less absolute. It’s common to hear it in everyday speech when people want to acknowledge exceptions without listing them. Remember that 'ogni' never takes an article, so you say 'ogni giorno' not '*ogni il giorno*'.
