especially
A common but orthographically incorrect spelling of 'vor allem' (especially / above all). It means mainly, especially, or primarily, and highlights something as particularly important.
Mir gefällt die italienische Küche, vorallem Pizza und Pasta.
I like Italian cuisine, especially pizza and pasta.
The spelling 'vorallem' as one word is always wrong. The correct spelling consists of two words: 'vor allem' (especially / above all). This mistake happens frequently even to native speakers.
Ich esse gern Gemüse, vor allem Brokkoli.
I like eating vegetables, especially broccoli.
The expression consists of the preposition 'vor' (before) and the declined pronoun 'allem' (all/everything). Literally, it means 'before all other things.' This origin helps explain why it is written as two separate words.
Vor allem müssen wir jetzt Ruhe bewahren.
Above all, we must stay calm now.
'Vor allem' (especially / above all) can appear in different positions in the sentence. If it stands in position 1, the conjugated verb follows immediately. But it can also stand after the verb in the middle of the sentence to emphasize part of the sentence.
Vor allem möchte ich mich bei meinen Eltern bedanken.
Above all, I would like to thank my parents.
