What suffix is ily?

The suffix "ily" is used to form adverbs from adjectives. It indicates a manner or way of doing something.

Examples:

* Happy (adjective) -> Happily (adverb)

* Slow (adjective) -> Slowly (adverb)

* Quiet (adjective) -> Quietly (adverb)

Note: Not all adjectives can be turned into adverbs by adding "ily." Some adjectives already have adverb forms (e.g., "well," "badly"), and others require different suffixes or word changes.
