ADV: adverb

Definition

Adverbs are words that typically modify adjectives, verbs or other adverbs for such categories as time, place, direction or manner.

Note that in Swedish, some adverbs may also function as verbal particles, as in se ut “look” or gömma undan “hide away”. They are still tagged ADV and not PART.
