How to say "forcefully" in Japanese

• ぎゅっとCommon
  adverb, suru verbCovers forceful physical action such as pushing, squeezing, or holding tightly. Choose this when 'forcefully' describes pressing or gripping something firmly with the hands or body.
• ガラリ
  adverb (with と)Used for the forceful, noisy movement of a door being flung open, with a clattering sound. It matches 'forcefully' only in that narrow scene, so it is rarely the word you want for other senses.
• ぎりぎり
  adverb (with と)Means forcefully or strongly, especially with effort or when binding something tightly. For plain 'forcefully' this is a less common and marginal choice; it really conveys strained effort or tight binding.

For physical pushing or squeezing, use 「ぎゅっと」; 「ガラリ」 describes flinging a door open noisily; 「ぎりぎり」 is a marginal match meaning with effort or tight binding.
