in a brave and courageous way

In a way that shows you are not controlled by fear, especially in a hard or dangerous situation.

Padron ng paggamit: to [verb] bravely [in a difficult situation]
Karaniwang pagkakamali:
Learners sometimes use the adjective instead of the adverb and say *"He fought brave"* instead of *"He fought bravely"*. Remember: use **brave** before a noun (*a brave woman*) and **bravely** to describe an action (*She spoke bravely*). Another mistake is putting *bravely* in an unnatural position, like *"He bravely was"*; it usually goes before the main verb (*He bravely agreed*) or after it (*He agreed bravely*).
Mga kasingkahulugan
courageously (Very close in meaning, slightly more formal and less common in everyday speech.) | fearlessly (Suggests having no fear at all, while "bravely" allows for feeling fear but acting despite it.) | boldly (Adds a sense of taking big risks or acting in a daring way, not always about danger or hardship.)
Mga kasalungat
cowardly (Describes acting with too much fear and avoiding danger or difficulty, the opposite of acting bravely.) | timidly (Suggests acting in a shy, nervous way instead of with courage and confidence.)

adverb literary C2 property

in a bright, showy way

In a very bright and strong way that looks rich or fancy.

Padron ng paggamit: bravely [verb of appearance] (e.g. dressed, lit, decorated)
Karaniwang pagkakamali:
Learners may think this meaning is about courage because of the more common sense of "bravely". In older or literary texts, however, *bravely* can sometimes mean "brightly" or "in a showy way" when describing clothes, buildings, or colors.
Mga kasingkahulugan
splendidly (Very similar in this literary sense, with a strong feeling of richness and beauty.) | brightly (Focuses mainly on strong light or color and is more common; it lacks the old-fashioned sense of showiness that "bravely" can have here.)
Mga kasalungat
shabbily (Describes something that looks poor or worn-out, the opposite of looking bright and fine.) | dully (Suggests a lack of brightness or color, the opposite of this showy use of "bravely".)
