Adverbs from adjectives
The 3 suffixes are -o, -e, -y. There is no rule to know which suffix to use. You need to check in the dictionaries.

| tvrdý | tvrdo | hardly |
The adjectives ending with -avý, -ľavý, -ivý, -livý, -čivý, -istý, -vý, -ový, or the basis of the word ends with h, ch, k, b, p, m, d, t, s, š, z, ž, dz, c, r usually form the adverb ending with -e.

| chutný | chutne | tasty | |
| dokonalý | dokonale | perfectly | |

These adjectives ending with -ny, -ovitý, -itý, -lý usually form the adverb ending with -y.
