ADV
: adverb
Definition
Adverbs are words that typically modify verbs for such categories as time, place, direction or manner. They may also modify adjectives and other adverbs, as in velmi významně “very significantly” or prokazatelně chybný “provably wrong”.
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. Pronominal adverbs also get the ADV
part-of-speech tag but they are differentiated by additional features.
In accord with the UD approach,
adverbial ordinal numerals (poprvé, posedmé, postopadesáté)
are tagged ADV
, although the traditional grammar classifies
them as numerals.
The same holds for multiplicative numerals
(jednou, sedmkrát, stopadesátkrát).
Note that Czech transgressives (also called adverbial participles)
are tagged VERB, not ADV
.
Examples
- velmi “very”
- dobře “well”
- přesně “exactly”
- zítra “tomorrow”
- nahoru, dolů “up, down”
- ordinal numeral adverbs: poprvé, podruhé, potřetí “for the first time, for the second time, for the third time”
- multiplicative numeral adverbs: jednou, dvakrát, třikrát “once, twice, three times”
- interrogative adverbs: kde, kam, kdy, jak, proč “where, where to, when, how, why”
- demonstrative adverbs: tady, tam, teď, tehdy, tak “here, there, now, then, so”
- indefinite adverbs: někde, někam, někdy, nějak “somewhere, to somewhere, sometime, somehow”
- total adverbs: všude, vždy “everywhere, always”
- negative adverbs: nikde, nikdy “nowhere, never”
