Adverb

wenigstens

  1. at least
    Synonyms: mindestens, zumindest
    Wenigstens war es nicht langweilig.[1] ― At least it wasn't boring.

Usage notes

  • Regarding the slight distinction between mindestens and zumindest, explained in the latter lemma, wenigstens can be used in both ways and is therefore a good choice in any case of doubt, although it is overall the least frequent of the three adverbs.
