virtually / practically
Expresses that something is not literally so, but is so in its effect or result; in a sense, so to speak, practically.

'Quasi' (virtually/practically) is used to soften a statement or make clear that something is not meant literally, but in a figurative sense. It functions like a comment on your own statement.

After the long flight, I was practically tired for a whole week.
'Quasi' (virtually/practically) is very flexible and usually stands directly before the word or phrase it qualifies. It does not change the normal sentence structure.
Die Reparatur hat quasi nichts gekostet.
The repair cost practically nothing.
The word 'quasi' (virtually/practically) is especially common in spoken language and informal texts. It makes the language sound a bit more relaxed and less absolute.
Wir sind quasi fertig, nur noch ein paar Kleinigkeiten fehlen.
We're practically finished; only a few small things are missing.
almost
'fast' and 'quasi' can both express that something comes very close to a certain state. 'fast' is more precise: something is almost that way, but not quite yet. It is often used with numbers, amounts, times, or clear results. 'quasi' means more like 'so to speak' or 'in effect'. It does not have to mean that only a small part is still missing, but rather that something can be understood not literally, but approximately in that way. 'fast fertig' means: only a little is still missing. 'quasi fertig' means: you can already treat it as finished.

Mr. Richter cooks for the team every day; he is practically our cook at the office.
