hard, hardly and hardily

[Mkostya]

Hi all,

can anybody explain what is the difference between "hard", "hardly" and "hardily" ?

Thanks,
Kostya

[Mister Micawber]

Hard = difficult; non-malleable
Hardly = almost not
Hardily = in a hardy manner

Please check you dictionary for the adjectives 'hard' and 'hardy'-- their adverbial forms should be listed there.

Hi MM,
I'm very sorry to tell you that I didn't find the word " hardily" in any part of speech in my dictionary, never the less I'm very grateful for your assistant.My dictionary called
"Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary of Current English" AS Hornby.

Not to mention the word hardy, I think you got something wrong, ET. The adverbial form of hard remains unchanged but here, hardily is the adverbial form of hardy not hard. About its existence, I think you should find in more sources or google it.

Hi Tor,
It's very nice to hearing from you, you make me laugh, but realy in my old edition dictionary I looked the word " hardily"
up to the last letter of the enteries of the word "hard" and it's all derivations, but I didn't find it.But also I'm going to surf google to seek it.
Thank you for your efforts.

Hi Tor,
Realy I'm very sorry, and I'm very glad to learn this new word "shouting", but also if you saw my letter I didn't mentioned any rude words, on the contrary I always write politely.And if you see any rude in my replies,you may unsubscribe me.
The reason I read in capital letter, that I were speeding up my writing, because of some failure in my personal computer.
Regards
