Through a process of derivational morphology, adjectives may form words of other categories. For example, the adjective happy combines with the suffix -ness to form the noun happiness . It is typical of English adjectives to combine with the -ly suffix to become adverbs (e.g., real → really ; encouraging → encouragingly ).
When the suffix is added to a word ending in the letter y, the y before the suffix is replaced with the letter i, as in happily (from happy). This does not always apply in the case of monosyllabic words; for example, shy becomes shyly (but dry can become dryly or drily , and gay becomes gaily ).
