Rfv-sense "adverb: weekly" —Suzukaze-c◇◇ 19:19, 9 July 2018 (UTC)


 * Hmm, I'm stuck on the opposite thought -- how is this a "noun"? Same for .  ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │Tala við mig 21:15, 9 July 2018 (UTC)


 * As a noun, it often refers to a periodical published once a week: 朝日ウィークリー, 日経ウィークリー, 毎日ウィークリー (oxymoron notwithstanding) etc. I think it's also used as a truncated form of ウィークリー・マンション, a room rented by the week.
 * "Adverb" is such a heterodox category that I'm having trouble thinking of a clear test for Japanese adverb-ness. Some sources that use standard European labels (e.g. Breen) call ウィークリー an adverb, but I'm not sure if that's because it's borrowed from an English adverb, or based on some analysis of Japanese.
 * I did find this, which feels adverb-y:
 * I'm not 100% convinced it's an adverb, but neither am I convinced it is not. Cnilep (talk) 02:15, 19 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Doesn't an adverb in Japanese mean that it's used independently without a particle, like 結局? Nardog (talk) 07:06, 19 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Clearly it is only a noun in Japanese. You can say ウィークリーで行う but never *ウィークリー行う. — T AKASUGI Shinji (talk) 03:16, 23 July 2018 (UTC)
 * I see some usage as a -na adjective. It looks like the grammar for this term may currently be in flux.  ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │Tala við mig 23:43, 23 July 2018 (UTC)
