ADV: adverb
Definition
Adverbs are words that typically modify verbs for such categories as time, place, direction or manner. In Georgian, they may also modify adjectives (as in ძალიან ლამაზი “very beautiful”), other adverbs (as in ძალიან კარგად “very well”). There are eight different types of adverbs in Georgian: local (AdvType=Loc), temporal (AdvType=Tim), modifier (AdvType=Man), quantitative (AdvType=Deg), causal (AdvType=Cau), interrogative (AdvType=Int) and relative (AdvType=Rel). Generally, adverbs can be considered a closed class of items which can be expanded with two slots, namely a slot for postpositions and for indirect speech markers, but in Georgian, adverbs often have particles added to them, indicating their type, see PartType.
