Fascinatingly

"Fascinatingly" in a Sentence (2 examples)

Like the main score of a fascinatingly complex symphony, the genome contains the instructions for the development and maintenance of organisms.

When the Japanese 所 (ところ) is used grammatically instead of for its lexical meaning, it works well to communicate the state of an action. For example, the word is almost equivalent to "about to" in English, that is, when used after a plain verb. After a past tense verb, it means something more like "just", such as in "I just got done." Here, an action is indicated as having only been done recently. Fascinatingly, it could also mean "upon", such as when saying "Upon doing it, something happened." After a verb in the progressive, 所 emphasizes that the action is currently happening.
