Creation of Slovak adverbs
Exercises
In this lesson we will show you how to create the adverbs! Let's have a look at it!
How to create the adverbs
The adverbs can be created from other word categories:
- from adjectives, where the suffix is -o, -e, -y
- from verbs
There can be also other ways, but they do not follow any rules, therefore you need to use the dictionary.
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.
| -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.
Adverbs from verbs
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 |
