Tactlessly is the adverb: it describes HOW someone did or said something — in a way that upset or people, without meaning to. Because it is an adverb, it attaches to a verb, and the most common verbs it goes with are verbs of speaking: to say something tactlessly, to ask tactlessly, to remark tactlessly, to blurt something out tactlessly. You also see it at the front of a clause, commenting on the whole thing: 'Tactlessly, he mentioned her age in front of everyone.' As with the adjective, the word says the person was rather than cruel — they did not read the room.

One thing worth knowing: in real English this adverb is less common than the adjective. Native speakers more often say 'it was of him to mention it' than 'he tactlessly mentioned it'. The adverb sounds slightly more written, more like a novel or a newspaper.

Both are correct, so you can use it, but if you want the everyday version, the 'it was of someone to do something' pattern is the safer choice.
Both are correct兩種說法都對 so you can use it所以你可以用這個副詞 but if you want the everyday version不過如果你想要日常一點的版本 the 'it was tactless of someone to do something' pattern「it was tactless of someone to do something」這個句型 is the safer choice是比較保險的選擇
