Concrete - "specifically, particularly" (English).
In Deutsch - konkret, in Spanish - concretamente, in Italiano - concreto,
forte, potente, in France - d'une maniere concrete .

In my dictionary (paper) this word is available, and as one of values uses this most.


The illustration to my above-stated words has turned out just.
