the word "lewdy" Wed Nov 14, 2007 15:59 pm  the word "lewdy"
 

Hi,

Could you tell me if there is such a word - lewdy ?
If yes, could you give me a hint at possible ways of using it?

Can I say "He was talking kind of lewdy" (meaning he was talking in a lewd manner)

Thanks !

Hi Alex

If I heard someone say "lewdy", I would probably assume it to be some sort of nickname.
If that were not the case, then I would (1) categorize it as a made-up word and (2) probably assume that the person meant "a person who is lewd".

In your sentence, it would be grammatically correct to use the adverb "lewdly".
