Correct spelling, explanation: every adverb in English is based on an adjective. In this case, the adjective is real. To create the adverb, we have to add the ending -ly to its root. The important thing is we can’t omit one of the -l letters. Some of the English users misspell the right form – really – as realy.
Definition of really:
adverb, truly, very, often used to express anger or surprise
Did you really think I wanted to see you after what you did?
John really needed water.
Expressions and phrases with really:
Some commonly used expressions with really are:
Do you really think so?
I really can’t say.
I’m doing really well.
I’m not really sure.
Incorrect spelling, explanation: when an adjective ends with an -l letter, a common adverbial suffix added to it is -ly. That’s why the correct form is really, not realy – one must spell this word with a double -l. This mistake may occur because of the accidental omission of the one -l.
