Příslovce – adverbs

 

It is important to note that an adverb differs in form from an adjective. It may or may not be in English.

For example, “rychle” (meaning “quickly”) is an adverb that expresses the manner of an action or movement.

 

1. Rychle utíkáme domů.

   (We are running home quickly.)

   

2. Tiše čeká na autobus.

   (He quietly waits for the bus.)

   

3. Hluboko se potápí do oceánu.

   (He dives deep into the ocean.)

Corresponding adjectives to adverbs rychle, tiše and hluboko jsou rychlý, tichý, hluboký.

Rychlý běžec – Fast runner

Tichý motor – Quiet motor

Hluboký oceán – Deep ocean

   

 

Adverbs can be graded just like adjectives. However, the resulting forms look different than adjectives (although this may not be the case in English).

Examples:

dobře – lépe – nejlépe. good – better – best

často – častěji – nejčastěji.  often – more often – most often

pomalu – pomaleji – nejpomaleji.  slowly – slower – slowest

rychle – rychleji – nejrychleji.  fast – faster – fastest

tiše – tišeji – nejtišeji. quietly – quieter – the quietest

hluboko – hlouběji – nejhlouběji.  deep – deeper – deepest
