Usage Note
Récemment is spelled with the -emment ending and pronounced with a nasal final syllable. It typically appears before or after the verb (j'ai récemment vu / je l'ai vu récemment). A common learner error is to confuse récemment with dernièrement, which is slightly more formal and literary.
Examples
"Il a récemment changé de travail."
