No, the ending -ly is much more common with adverbs than adjectives. Often adverbs are formed by adding -ly to an adjective, for example: * happy - happily * fortunate - fortunately * recent - recently * new - newly * slow - slowly A few adjectively, like elderly, end in -ly, but it is not common.

Beautiful (adj.) = Beautifully (adv.)
Calm (adj.) = Calmly (adv.)
Soft (adj.) = Softly (adv.)
Those are just a few examples. As I said, there are many adjectives that can be turned into adverbs by adding the suffix -ly.
