You may replace one with the other Adjective [usually adjective noun] a kindly person is kind, caring, and sympathetic He was a stern critic but an extremely kindly man Benevolent, kind, caring, nice however, 'kindly' can be used as an adverb, meaning 'thoughtfully or helpfully' kindly Can the word kindly be used to close an email, for example Hi matt, i would like to thank you for the great help yesterday
Kindly, john i see it very strange, but many people in my institution are using it to close their emails Kindly, is this usage of kindly is correct? In australian english, kindly implies a polite instruction (which is expected to be obeyed) rather than a polite request (which may be ignored or rejected) Accordingly, kindly is usually used by someone in a position of authority. Consider the common phrase please kindly listen while i explain this Or kindly wait while i check this. in my view please is asking while kindly, as already mentioned, is used to take the edge of a command
'kindly pay your debt at your earliest convenience.' the use of both words together is contradictory. Sometimes i received emails start with kindly notice, and other times kindly note, i checked the two meaning on the dictionaries and it seem both of them can be verb and they have similar meani. As you have better contacts with musicians, kindly do the needful Do the needful is used when we want to cut the story short In fact, at times, we just write do the needful and the favorer understands everything Wikipedia says that the phrase is now obsolete and slang (this is news for me!).
It would be appreciated if you can let us know when can we expect to receive the final payment This is βgoodβ english in that it is grammatical (it follows the rules of standard english) and it is comprehensible (the recipient will understand you), but it is prolix (excessively wordy) Help everyone by writing something like Please let us know when we will receive the final payment The second version kindly oblige me with three days of leave. is correct The second version is a bit too formal for me, and for a workplace context
Three days' leave is correct. So the sentence thank you for your kindly attention is not incorrect grammatically However, as it's unusual to use it as an adjective, we should use kind which is more usual and common adjective in modern english as follows Do the needful. it's a phrase that i've only seen used in email, and i find it Regardless of prefacing with please, one is commanding rather than asking for assistance
