in a polite and respectful way
In a polite way that shows you respect a person, rule, or idea.
用法パターン：
to [do something] respectfully toward [someone/something]
よくある間違い：
Learners often confuse "respectfully" with "respectively." "Respectfully" means "in a respectful way" (e.g., "She respectfully disagreed"), while "respectively" means "in the same order as mentioned" (e.g., "Tom and Ana are 10 and 12, respectively"). Learners may also mix up "respectful" (adjective) and "respectfully" (adverb): "He was respectful" (correct), not *"He was respectfully"; but "He spoke respectfully" (correct), not *"He spoke respectful."
