Top answer

Anonymous is "sorrowly" a correct word? No. Sorrow is a noun, not an adjective, so the adjectival suffix -ly does not make sense.

Hi,

No.
AnonymousIs it the same as sorrowfully?
Sorrowfully is a literary word—or rather, an adverb—as far as I'm concerned. Be sure to use it in an appropriate

context.

There is no such word as "sorrowly." Sorrow = noun. Sorrowful = adjective. Sorrowfully = adverb (although it sounds awkward to me). Sorrowly does not exist. You might try the adverb "dolefully" depending upon what you are trying to say.
