Question

Hi please help.

We should definitely go there

What's " definitely" in this sentence.

Is it equivalent of" we shoud really go there?

Answer

When something is definite, it’s 100% likely. So we should go there (100%).

Answer

The adverb "definitely" modifies "should", not "go", and strengthens it.  You can strengthen it even more like this:

"We should most definitely go there."

You could strengthen your determination still more by creating a pile of adverbs like this:

"We should 100% absolutely, certainly, emphatically and most definitely go there."
