Common Adverbs |
page |
There are two common suffixes involved with creating adverbs. There isn't too much of a difference between them, so these kinds of adverbs neeed to be memorised.
Among other things, -ul,-ül is used to turn adjectives into adverbs. Naturally front-voweled adjectives take the -ül ending, back-voweled -ul and those ending in vowels get -l.
- Jól - (Well) From jó
- Rosszul - (Badly) From rossz
- Makacsul - (Stubbornly) From makacs
- Remekül - (Superbly) From remek
- Egyedül - (Alone)
It is also used to show the language someone speaks.
- Magyarul - (lit. Hungarianly) From magyar
- Angolul - (lit. Englishly) From angol
- Németül - (lit. Germanly) From német
- Finnül - (lit. Finnishly) From finn
Front-voweled words take -en, back-voweled words take -an,-on and words ending in vowels take -n. This is done to adjectives.
Gyorsan - (Quickly) From gyors
Gyakran - (Frequently) From gyakor
Csendesen - (Silently) From csend
Szépen - (Beautifully/Nicely) From szép
Nagyon - (Very) From nagy
Gazdagon - (Richly) From gazdag
Ritkán - (Rarely) From ritka
There are some adjectives that can become adverbs from either ending. E.g. piszkos
- Figyeltem a kresz tablákra piszkosul. - (I paid attention to the traffic signs like crazy!)
- Figyeltem a kresz tablákra piszkosan. - (I paid attention to the traffic signs dirtily (physically))
