Rare enough to double-check
milý is uncommon German outside the top frequency list, classed as anadjective, transcribed [ˈmɪliː]. Rarity is why readers land here mid-draft. 3 senses are on record.
milý doesn't appear in our generated misspelling index, and the word's spelling is regular enough that our generator found nothing worth flagging. It is not paired with a close-neighbour confusable in our dataset, a sign it's visually distinctive enough not to be mixed up with another word.
No explicit etymology string is stored for this entry, leaving phoneme-to-grapheme mapping as the best guide to its spelling rather than a borrowing history. The correct German form is milý, spelled M-I-L-Ý.
