What's another phrase for "word for word"? [closed]
It's a sudden random question I have but I distinctly remember there being another phrase, probably of another language, which means exactly the same as "word for word". What is it?
Verbatim: (from TFD)
- using exactly the same words; corresponding word for word: a verbatim report of the conversation.
or literally:
- in a literal manner; word for word: translated the Greek passage literally.
As Joshn61 said, the most common synonym is simply Verbatim.
In many contexts you could also replace it with exactly. For example:
The text was copied word for word.
The text was copied verbatim.
The text was copied exactly.
They all mean the same thing.
