Last week, we answered Yuna’s question about “everyday” and “every day.”

上周，我们回答了尤娜关于everyday和every day的问题。

This week we look at the difference between those words and the word “daily.”

本周，我们来看看这些词和daily之间有什么区别。

“Daily” can be used as an adjective¹ or an adverb.

daily可用作形容词或副词。

As an adjective, it means² happening regularly³ or day to day.

作为形容词，它的意思是有规律地或每天都在发生。

“Daily” can be a synonym⁴ for “everyday” (one word).

daily可以是everyday(一个单词)的同义词。

Last week, we learned⁵ that the word “everyday” (one word) describes regular events.

上周，我们了解到everyday(一个单词)描述的是有规律的事件。

My everyday schedule includes waking up early, going to the gym and making breakfast.

我每天的日程安排包括早起、去健身房和做早餐。

So, we can exchange “everyday” (one word) for “daily” in this statement⁶.

因此，在这个句子中，可以将everyday(一个单词)替换为daily。

My daily schedule includes waking up early, going to the gym and making breakfast.

我每天的日程安排包括早起、去健身房和做早餐。

But we cannot use “daily” in place of “everyday” (one word) when it means common or usual.

但当表示"普通的"或"平常的"时候，不能把everyday换成daily。

“Daily” can also be an adverb.

daily也可以是副词。

When used this way, “daily” can take the place of “every day” (two words).

这样用的时候，daily可以代替every day(两个词)。

Here are some different examples comparing “daily” to “every day” (two words).

以下这些例句比较了daily和every day(两个词)的用法。

I listen to music every day.

我每天都听音乐。

I listen to music daily.

我每天都听音乐。

Getting enough sleep every day can help our memory.

每天有充足的睡眠可以帮助提高记忆力。

Getting enough sleep daily can help our memory.

每天有充足的睡眠可以帮助提高记忆力。

In both sets of examples, “daily” can be exchanged for “every day” (two words) because it is used as an adverb.

在这两个例句中，daily可以换成every day(两个词)，因为它被用作副词。

It also describes how often events, activities or usual things happen.

它也描述了事件、活动或普通事情发生的频率。

You can use “daily” like “everyday” (one word) as an adjective to describe something that happens day to day.

你可以像用everyday(一个词)一样用daily作为形容词来描述每天发生的事情。

You can also use “daily” as an adverb to describe how often something happens.

你也可以用daily作为副词来描述某事发生的频率。
