in a friendly, affectionate way
In a very friendly and kind way that shows you like or care about someone.
Padrão de uso:
to [verb] [someone] warmly
Erro comum:
Learners sometimes confuse "warmly" with "warm" when talking about personality. Use "She is warm" for personality and "She smiled warmly" for how she acts. Another mistake is using "warmly" where temperature is meant alone, as in "The room is warmly"; in this case, say "The room is warm."
Sinónimos
cordially (More formal and polite; often used in written invitations or official communication rather than everyday speech.)
Antónimos
coldly (Describes behavior that is unfriendly and shows no warmth or affection.)

with strong approval or enthusiasm
In a way that shows you strongly agree with or support something.
Padrão de uso:
to [verb] [something] warmly
Erro comum:
Learners may overuse "very" with "warmly" (e.g., "very warmly recommend"). In many cases, "warmly" already expresses a strong feeling, so "warmly recommend" is usually enough.
Sinónimos
enthusiastically (Stresses excitement and energy; "warmly" can sound slightly softer and more emotional.)
Antónimos
coolly (Shows little or no enthusiasm or approval, often emotionally distant.)
