Usage Note

Aucunement is a formal or literary adverb meaning 'not in the least' or 'by no means', stronger than pas du tout in register. It typically follows the verb it modifies: cela ne m'affecte aucunement ('that does not affect me in the slightest'). Avoid it in casual speech, where pas du tout is preferred.

Examples

"Cela ne me dérange aucunement."

Natural Translation

That doesn't bother me in the least.
