  1. indefinite neuter singular of eventuell

Adverb

eventuellt

  1. possibly, potentially, perhaps

  2. hypothetically (as a possibility, in the most neutral sense)
    Om du eventuellt skulle ha rätt så har jag inga problem med det
    If you, hypothetically, were to be right, I have no problem with that / If you were to turn out to be right, I have no problem with that

Usage notes

The second translation of the last example is a better match for the tone, as the "hypothetically" isn't as dismissive-sounding as in English.
