[General] Difference between Hungerly and Hungrily

[dario_cro]

I wanted to write this sentence: Think Hungerly(Hungrily) everywhere, today, tomorrow, anytime.
But what is difference between Hungerly and Hungrily and which one should I use?

Hello, dario_cro.:-D

I've never come across 'hungerly' in my life, but it does exist: http://www.onelook.com/?w=hungerly&ls=a
However, it's classified as 'archaic' in this dictionary, for instance: http://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/hungerly

I hope those links will be of some help to you.

I would not suggest using "hungerly" but I also don't know what "Think hungrily" is supposed to mean.

 

[dario_cro]

"Think hungrily" would mean to think forward, to always want more and do more

 

[Barb_D]

That would not be what I think it means. The phrase is ambiguous.
Certainly "be hungry for something" means to be ambitious. But "think hungrily" may not convey what you want it to.

 

[dario_cro]

I know, but if I put it in the right context it would get its true meaning

 

[Barb_D]

Context is a thing that is lacking more often than not in this forum.

 

[dario_cro]

Like I said it should refer to be hungry for success and always to keep pushing forward.
I just wanted to know which word should I use, I can take care of a context of that sentence on my website
Thank you all

Check out the difference between "it's" and "its". You used the wrong one. Also, remember to finish sentences with a single appropriate punctuation mark. We don't end sentences with emoticons or smilies as you did in post #8.

It was post #8 :-o

"Hungerly" was listed in the 1913 edition of Webster's. In current versions it is marked as archaic. Collins also lists it as archaic.

Everywhere and any time don't pair too well for me- might all the time work better, especially in the context of ambition.
