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 очень важно “very significantly” or вероятно неправильно “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.
Note that Russian transgressives (also called adverbial participles)
are tagged VERB, not ADV.
Examples
- очень “very”
- хорошо “well”
- точно “exactly”

- вниз, наверх “up, down”
- ordinal numeral adverbs: впервые “for the first time”
- multiplicative numeral adverbs: однажды, дважды, трижды “once, twice, three times”
- interrogative adverbs: где, куда, когда, как, почему “where, where to, when, how, why”
- demonstrative adverbs: здесь, там, сейчас, потом, так “here, there, now, then, so”
- indefinite adverbs: где-то, куда-то, когда-то, как-то “somewhere, to somewhere, sometime, somehow”
