What does ly mean in a text?

"Ly" is a common slang suffix used in texting and online communication. It's a shortened version of "really" or "very" and emphasizes the word it's attached to.

Here's how it's used:

* "Happyly": means "really happy" or "very happy"

* "Badly": means "really bad" or "very bad"

* "Tiredly": means "really tired" or "very tired"

Examples:

* "I'm so tiredly."

* "That movie was so badly."

* "I'm happyly for you!"

Note:

* It's generally considered informal language and may not be appropriate for formal settings.

* The use of "ly" can sometimes sound childish or exaggerated.

* It's a popular way to express strong feelings in text messages.

If you see "ly" in a text, it's a good indication that the sender is trying to emphasize the word it's attached to.
