Specially most commonly means in a special manner or for a special purpose, as in This was specially made or You were specially chosen for this project.Perhaps most confusingly, specially is sometimes used as a synonym of especially, though especially is much more commonly used.Both words are adverbs. Specially is the adverb form of the adjective special. This might be the best way to remember the way specially is typically used, which is to describe something being done in a special way or for a special purpose. On the other hand, the adjective especial is not commonly used. Especially can always be used interchangeably with particularly.Here’s an example of especially and specially used correctly in a sentence.Example: The team worked especially hard to specially make all of these decorations in time for the event.Want to learn more?
