6 mins confidence: 
sumamente Explanation: Reading this as an English native speaker, "badly" carries the meaning of "desperately", or "very much" (in which case, "muchísimo" is also quite possible here). I think a word like "sumamente" would capture that idea in the Spanish, though wait and see what Spanish native speakers think. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-08-08 09:07:58 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- One of the main meanings of \"sumamente\" is \"exceedingly\", and that\'s the idea being conveyed by \"badly\" here. Exceedingly, desperately, that sort of thing. |
