Adverbs are words extending meaning of some corresponding verb or adjective. Adverbs are not conjugated.

1. Adverbs regularly formed from adjectives in the neuter sg. nominative form. (e. g. ending -o or -e after consonants č, š, ž, j).
   
   example:
   
   mnogy,-a,-o (numerous, adj.)  → mnogo (much, many, plenty of, adv.)
   dobry,-a,-o (good, adj.)  → dobro (good, adv.)
   maly,-a,-o (small, adj.)  → malo (a few, adv.)
   novy,-a,-o (new, adj.)  → novo (new, adv.)
   prěmy,-a,-o (straight, adj.)  → prěmo (straight, adv.)
   povratny,-a,-o (backward, return, adj.)  → povratno (backward, return, adv.)
   lěvy,-a,-o (left, adj.)  → lěvo (left, adv.)
   desny,-a,-o (right, adj.)  → desno (right, adv.)
   pravy,-a,-o (right, correct, adj.)  → pravo (right, correct, adv.)
   krivy,-a,-o (false, awry, adj.)  → krivo (false, awry, adv.)
   svěži,-a,-e (fresh, adj.)  → svěže (fresh, adv.)

   anglijsky (English, adj.)  → anglijski (English, adv.)
   

derived adverbs

Some adverbs are formed from fossilized proverbial structures of a noun in some case with optional preposition or pronoun. Such a structure is then written together as one word and behaves as one word. They are for example:

vkupě	v kupě (L)	together  (originally: in a group)
izjutra	iz jitra (G)	tomorrow (originally: from the morning)
gorě	gorě (L)	up, to the top (originally: a hill in locative)
dolu	dolu (L)	down, to the bottom (originally: a valley in locative)
lětom	letom (I)	in/during a summer
zimoj	zimoj (I)	in/during a winter
jutrom	jutrom (I)	in/during a morning/sunrise
včera	večera (G)	yesterday (originally: an evening in genitive)
doma	doma (G)	at home (originally: a house in genitive)
jutras	jutra sego (G)	today morning, this morning (originally: this morning in genitive)
polednes	poledne sego (G)	today noon, this noon (originally: this noon in genitive)
večeras	večera sego (G)	today evening, this evening (originally: this evening in genitive)
dnes	dne sego (G)	today (originally: this day in genitive)
nočis	noči sej (G)	tonight (originally: this night in genitive)

1. Note in this table that there is a lot of symmetries between pronouns, numerals and adverbs made by the same prefixes (e.g. t-, in-, ni-, ně-, vs-). For details, see chapters about pronouns and numerals again.
   
   
2. Adverbs kamo?, semo, tamo, ... can be combined with the prefix od- (from) in order to make adverb odkamo? (where from?), od tamo (from there), ...
   

gradation

Gradation of adverbs is very similar to the gradation of adjectives as well. Also it has 4 levels and two modes: direct and descriptive. The prefix is naj- (the same as of adjectives) and suffix is -ěje or -eje after č, š, ž. There are five irregular adverbs made from the same irregular adjectives in the comparative: bolše, lučše, unše, menše, gorše according to irregular adjectives.

example:

1. silno = strong
2. silněje = vyše silno = stronger, more strong
3. najsilněje = najvyše silno = strongest, the most strong
4. najsilno = mnogo silno = very strong
   

Natural Slavic languages have more complicated gradation of adverbs. Typically, it is a kind of omitting the penultimate syllables, for example:

daleko → dalěč-ěje → dal-ěčě-je → dalje.

Of course, You can use these shorter forms but be ready to use also the original full-long form for case of need to explain Your meaning, if Your partner does not understand.



idioms

Like virtually every human language, Neoslavonic has idioms as well. They were chosen with the aim of maximum similarity to spoken Slavic languages and acceptable level of simplicity. Please, learn these idioms:

jest trěba D N/infinitive	needs to, it is required, ...  (whom, what)
hoču D A/infinitive	I want (for D) to ...
v redu	in order
i kako li že	although (exactly: and how if that)
drug druga	each other (exactly: a friend of a friend)
odnošeno	mutually (from the verb odnositi = relate to)
na žalost	unfortunately (exactly: at disfavor)
na ščastje	fortunately (exactly: at fortune)
ako ... potom ... inako	if ... then ... else

examples

Trěba jest pisati pismo. = It is required to write a letter.

Trěba jest Tebě pisati pismo. = It is required you to write a letter.

Hočemo Vam idti do Pragy. = We want you to go in Prague.

Dobro govoriš medžuslovjansky. = You speak Interslavic well.
