How to use "Colloquially" in context?
Though colloquially doesn't have a strict definition, it typically refers to informal language. This doesn't mean that colloquial language is bad-in fact, it can be quite entertaining. For example, take the phrase "that's too colloquial for me." This means that the person isn't comfortable speaking in a casual manner, and would prefer something more formal. Colloquial language also has a strong tradition in the United States. For example, "Somebody told me that you can easily find a job in the city," would be considered formal colloquial English.
