For “virtual”, there are several meanings: virtual adjective Definition of virtual 1: being such in essence or effect though not formally recognized or admitted a virtual dictator 2: being on or simulated on a computer or computer network print or virtual books a virtual keyboard : such as a: occurring or existing primarily online virtual shopping b: of, relating to, or existing within a virtual reality a virtual tour 3: of, relating to, or using virtual memory 4: of, relating to, or being a hypothetical particle whose existence is inferred from indirect evidence virtual photons 1 and 2 seem to be conflict. For example, “a virtual teacher”, it could be someone who teaches but is not formally admitted, or a computer-simulating one that teaches. I can’t distinguish them even there’s context.

Not necessarily, because it depends almost entirely on the context. To refer back to the example sentences that I wrote, I specifically used the adverb form “virtually” to illustrate the difference between the #1 & #2 definitions you mentioned. “Maya cooks so many intricate meals, she is virtually [adverb] a master chef” can be substituted with “Maya cooks so many intricate meals, she is a virtual [adjective] master chef.” In this sentence, contextually, “virtual” is used to signify “almost” or “practically.” It logically wouldn’t make sense to interpret virtual in this sentence to mean “of or relating to a computer” because of the context.

Hello! For definition #1 "being such in essence or effect though not formally recognized or admitted a virtual dictator," here are some examples that may make this particular definition more clear. • "Kate has completed 8 out of 10 classes to receive her teaching certification. She's virtually a teacher already!" • "I spent so much money this weekend. In fact, I only have $10 left. I am virtually broke!" • "Maya cooks so many intricate recipes, she's virtually a master chef!" In the scenarios above, the word "virtually" is used as an adverb to "nearly" or "almost." In the first example sentence, the subtext is that Kate is practically a teacher already because she is so close to being done with her certification.
