ADV: adverb

Definition

Adverbs are words that typically modify verbs for such categories as time, place, direction or manner. They may also modify adjectives (as in claramente falso “clearly fake”), other adverbs (as in muy brevemente “very briefly”) or even nouns / pronouns (as in solamente “only you”).

There is a closed subclass of pronominal adverbs that refer to circumstances in context, rather than naming them directly; similarly to pronouns, these can be categorized as interrogative, relative, demonstrative, etc. To conform to the UD guidelines, pronominal adverbs also get the ADV part-of-speech tag but they are differentiated by additional features (see pronominal type).

Examples
