We use specially to talk about the specific purpose of something: This kitchen was specially designed to make it easy for a disabled person to use. He has his shirts made specially for him by a tailor in London. Especially can also be used to mean ‘for a particular purpose’: I bought these (e)specially for you.

Especially means “above all” or “particularly.” It is used when something stands out from the rest. For example, “She loves flowers, especially roses.” On the other hand, specially refers to something made or done for a specific purpose. For instance, “This was specially designed for you.”

Here are some scenarios where both especially and specially would give correct meaning to the sentence. · I especially/specially gave this assignment to you as it will help with your promotion. · This kit has been especially/specially packed for the underprivileged children. · I especially/specially like the way she speaks.
