relativ synonyms
What's the difference between relativ, vergleichsweise, verhältnismäßig, im Vergleich, im Verhältnis, ziemlich, etwas, and ungefähr

Means 'relatively' or 'in proportion'; it often emphasizes proportion or scale and sounds a bit more official.
Means 'in comparison'; it is not a perfect adverb synonym, but a comparison phrase that makes the contrast explicit.
Literally 'in relation/proportion'; it is used to show proportion or the relationship between values and sounds quite formal.
Advanced: broader words
Means 'quite' or 'rather'; it is more about degree than comparison, so it is only partly close to relatively.
