### 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.

- They were coming from their nightly carousal. [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/school/N/nightly/#x7)

### 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.
