If something is nightly, it happens every night, not just once at night. A nightly news programme is on each evening; a nightly walk is a walk you take night after night. The word can sit in front of a noun (a nightly show) or after a verb (the show is performed nightly).
If something is nightly如果某件事是nightly的,it happens every night就表示它每晚都發生,not just once at night不是只在某個晚上發生一次。A nightly news programme is on each eveningA nightly news programme(每晚的新聞節目)每天晚上都會播出;a nightly walk is a walk you take night after nighta nightly walk(每晚的散步)就是你每天晚上都會走的那種散步。The word can sit in front of a noun這個字可以放在名詞前面 (a nightly show)(a nightly show),or after a verb也可以放在動詞後面 (the show is performed nightly)(the show is performed nightly)。
Though actually, in everyday speech many people just say every night, which is often clearer. Nightly is a little more compact and a little more “schedule-like” — the kind of word you see on a TV listing or a hotel sign (nightly rate: the price for each night).
