honestly

In French, 'honnêtement' is used similarly to its English counterpart to express truthfulness or sincerity in a statement. It is often used to preface an opinion or a statement that conveys a sense of integrity or straightforwardness. For example, one might say 'Honnêtement, je ne pense pas que ce soit une bonne idée' which translates to 'Honestly, I don’t think it’s a good idea.'
