We should treat others friendly.

Q1: Is this sentence correct? The word friendly is an adjective.
It should be an adverb to modify the verb treat. Am I right?
So how to rewrite the sentence to make the sentence correct?

Q2: Is there an adverb for friendly?

Thank you.

I would say, "We should treat others in a friendly way." I can't think of an adverb for friendly. You could use "in a friendly manner" as well.
