When to use 当然, 其实 and 终于 for “Of Course,” “Actually” and “Finally”
当然, 其实 and 终于 are mood adverbs: they add the speaker’s feeling about a fact. 当然 (dāng rán) “of course” says the fact is obvious or expected: 当然可以. 其实 (qí shí) “actually” says the truth is different from what it looks like or what people think: 这个题看起来很难，其实很简单. 终于 (zhōng yú) “finally” says something happens at last, after waiting or effort, and it usually comes with 了: 车终于来了. Put them before the verb, or 当然 and 其实 can start the sentence.
这个题看起来很难，其实很简单。

흔한 실수
- 终于 needs a wait or an effort before it; do not use it for the last step of a plan, use 最后.
- 其实 brings in a contrast with how things looked; it is not just “really” or “very.”
- Put these adverbs before the verb: 终于来了, not 来了终于.
