Hi Zazzex, Much to my dismay, the adverb "lovelily" actually appears in some dictionaries. However, I have never heard anyone use that word. Never.

  • Never.
  • Instead, people generally use this format: "in a lovely way/manner" It is possible to use the same format for friendly and deadly.

Why would you want to answer that way (lovelily) when the previous verified reply already implies that it sounds ridiculous?
