What is another way to say at least?

Here are some ways to say "at least" depending on the context:

Formal:

* Minimum of - "The minimum of five people must be present for the meeting."

* No fewer than - "There were no fewer than ten cars in the parking lot."

* Not less than - "The project will take not less than six months to complete."

* As many as - "There were as many as 200 people at the concert." (This implies a possibility of more, but definitely at least that number)

Informal:

* At the very least - "At the very least, we need to finish this report by Friday."

* At a minimum - "At a minimum, you should be able to write a basic email."

* At the lowest - "The cost of this project will be at the lowest, $10,000."

* At the very least - "At the very least, we need to start thinking about our next move."

* At the very minimum - "You need at the very minimum, a good night's rest."

To emphasize a low amount:

* Barely - "We barely managed to get the project done on time."

* Just - "I just got enough sleep last night."

To express a minimum requirement:

* Must - "You must be at least 18 years old to vote."

* Need to - "We need to have at least 10 people sign up for the event."

The best option depends on the specific situation and the desired level of formality.
