ADV
: adverb
Description
Adverbs are words that modify verbs, clauses or other ad-words, but not nouns. Adverbs are commonly derived from all parts-of-speech, sometimes the distinction between adverb and inflection is not clear. Most common adverb derivation for most languages is from verb to manner of acting, e.g. [fi] kauniisti “beautifully” (< kaunis “beautiful).
Examples
- [fi] nopeasti “fast”, nopeammin “faster”
- [fi] maanantaisin “on mondays”, kahdesti “twice”
- [fi] käsin “manually” (< käsi “hand”, instructive being inflection as well)
- [fi] puolueittain “party by party” (< puolue “party” + distributive)
