What is another word for not figuratively?
Pronunciation: [nˌɒt fˈɪɡjʊɹˌe͡ɪtɪvli] (IPA) 
When we talk about the meaning of words, we often use the terms "literally" and "figuratively" to distinguish between what is true and what is metaphorical or symbolic. But what if we need to express the opposite of figurative language? There are several ways to say "not figuratively" in English, depending on the context. For example, we can use the adverb "literally," which means "according to the letter" or "in a strict sense." Alternatively, we can use expressions like "in reality," "truly," "genuinely," "actually," or "verbatim." Each of these terms emphasizes the literal truth of the statement, without ambiguity or exaggeration.
