Everyday
In the lessons
It tells the reader how often something happens: once each night. In stories and news: the nightly news, nightly prayers. In maths, «nightly» means once per night, so over a week that is 7 times. Phrases: twice nightly, the nightly news.
Examples
- Our dog gets a nightly walk. tree →
- Grandma watches the nightly news. tree →
- The owls hunt nightly in the woods. tree →
- The show plays twice nightly at the theatre. tree →
- Brush your teeth nightly before bed. tree →
- The hotel charges $80 nightly. tree →
- They were coming from their nightly carousal. tree →
Note
Both adjective and adverb with the same form. Like daily, weekly, monthly. Maths: «$80 nightly for 3 nights» means 80 × 3 = 240. «Twice nightly» means 2 times each night. Do not confuse with «knightly» (like a knight), which sounds the same.
