Can someone show me an example of  干脆 as both an adjective and an adverb in a sentence? I hear it quite often in movies and dramas said at the beginning of a sentence. In this case it appears to mean something along the lines of "simply put..." or "frankly speaking..."

Am I close?

You might as well give the baby some milk.

乾脆把牛奶給寶貝吧。

 

為什麼女人總是如此的不乾脆?

Why are women always not so straightforward?

I can't think of adverbs..sorry...

Hi hitokiri

The 干脆 in your first example is an adverb.
