in a tired or exhausted way
In a way that shows you are very tired or have no energy or interest.
Vzorec užití:
to [do something] wearily
Častá chyba:
Learners often confuse "wearily" with "warily." "Wearily" means "in a tired way," while "warily" means "in a careful or cautious way." Example: "He looked at me wearily" = he is tired; "He looked at me warily" = he is careful or suspicious. Another mistake is using the adjective form instead of the adverb, e.g. "He spoke weary" (incorrect) instead of "He spoke wearily" (correct).
