How it's used
Expresses a strong sense of determination or certainty about a future action. It carries a more personal, emphatic tone than the neutral 一定. Native speakers often use it when they have made up their mind despite potential obstacles or others' opinions.
Examples
I am definitely going to buy those shoes tomorrow.
Are you definitely going to be late tomorrow?

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with the formal verb 實行 meaning to implement or put into practice. In casual speech, it functions strictly as an adverb of certainty.
