I definitely could vs I could definitely

Both phrases are correct, but the difference in the word order gives them slightly different meanings. 'I definitely could' emphasizes the certainty or assurance of being able to do something, while 'I could definitely' emphasizes the possibility or likelihood of being able to do something.
