The ending -ly is the normal adverb ending (see Unit 108). But a few adjectives also end in -ly.
Melanie was very friendly. It was a lively party. We had a lovely time.
The words are adjectives, not adverbs (NOT She spoke to us friendly). And we cannot add -ly.

If we need to use an adverb, we often choose another word of similar meaning.
It was lovely. Everything went beautifully.
