    Ly is a suffix meaning the way something is, was, or will be done. It is simply added to the end of words ending in consonants, but for words ending in y, the y is changed to i before adding ly. Ly slightly changes the meaning of the root word by describing the manner or quality of the action.

    (suffix)
    Meaning of ly

    ly means the way it is, was or will be done.


     A suffix is added to the end of a word to
    slightly change its meaning.

     The ly suffix starts with a consonant letter so it


    is simply added straight to the root word.
     careful + ly = carefully

     If ly is added to words ending in y, we change


    the y to i before adding ly.
     happy + ly = happily
