Usage Note
Présentement is standard in Canadian French (Quebec) as a neutral equivalent of 'currently', but in European French it sounds old-fashioned or regional — actuellement or en ce moment are preferred there. Learners targeting Quebec French will encounter présentement frequently in everyday speech and media.
Examples
"Il est présentement en réunion."
