- 1快活地、輕快地（開朗、帶一點輕巧的勁）
When someone does something chirpily, they do it in a happy, light, lively way — the kind of happy that feels a bit like a small bird in the morning. You mostly hear it about how a person talks or moves: they answer chirpily, they wave chirpily, they get up chirpily. It is not heavy, serious joy. It is bright and a little bouncy. People use it in everyday talk, more in British English than in stiff, formal writing. You would not use it in a funeral speech or a news report. Though actually, it can sound a tiny bit story-book now; many people just say happily or . Chirpily still paints a clearer picture: not only happy, but light and lively with it.
組成chirpy (happy and lively, like a little bird) + -ly (in that way).
