In this lesson we will show you how to create the adverbs! Let's have a look at it!
The adverbs can be created from other word categories:
There can be also other ways, but they do not follow any rules, therefore you need to use the dictionary.
Ask help from one of our professional teachers on Skype!
The 3 suffixes are -o, -e, -y. There is no rule to know which suffix to use. You need to check in the dictionaries.
-o | adjective | adverb | English |
---|---|---|---|
múdry | múdro | wisely | |
spravodlivý | spravodlivo | fairly | |
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.
-e | adjective | adverb | English |
---|---|---|---|
chutný | chutne | tasty | |
dokonalý | dokonale | perfectly | |
nezávislý | nezávisle | independently |
These adjectives ending with -ny, -ovitý, -itý, -lý usually form the adverb ending with -y.
-y | adjective | adverb | English |
---|---|---|---|
letecký | letecky | by plane | |
detský | detsky | childlike | |
mužský | mužsky | manlike |
Those usually end with -ský, cký.
These adverbs are created from verbs, and are keeping only the basis of verbs. For example:
verb | adverb | English |
---|---|---|
ležať | poležiačky | while lying down |
stáť | postojačky | while standing |
ukradnúť | ukradomky | furtively |
obkročiť | obkročmo | astride |
opiť | opito | drunk |
