Note
Only the noun, a publication issued once a week, can be made plural. As an adjective or adverb, weekly never takes an ending, so you write weekly magazines but several weeklies. The spelling follows the regular rule for a consonant plus -y: drop the y and add -ies. The noun grew out of the adjective used before a noun, as a weekly paper is shortened to simply a weekly.
