Is lazily a positive connotation or leisurely connotation?

"Lazily" has a negative connotation, while "leisurely" has a positive connotation.

Here's why:

* Lazily: Implies a lack of effort, enthusiasm, or motivation. It suggests someone is doing something in a slow, sluggish, or indifferent manner. For example, "He lazily finished his chores."

* Leisurely: Suggests a relaxed, enjoyable, and unhurried pace. It conveys a sense of freedom and enjoyment in doing something. For example, "We had a leisurely stroll through the park."

While both words relate to a relaxed pace, "lazily" often carries a negative judgment, while "leisurely" is typically considered positive.
