Learning the Galician Adverbs displayed below is vital to the language. Galician adverbs are part of speech. Generally they're words that modify any part of language other than a noun. Adverbs can modify verbs, adjectives (including numbers), clauses, sentences and other adverbs.
While in English adverbs are usually formed by adding (-ly) to adjectives. In Galician many adverbs are formed from adjectives, simply by adding the suffix -mente to the singular feminine form of adjectives. Examples:
Lento (slow) becomes lentamente (slowly)
Perfecto (perfect) becomes perfectamente (perfectly)
However that’s not always the case. Some words are adverbs by nature. For example:
Agora (now), verdade (really), and pronto (soon) are all Galician adverbs.
Here are some examples:
| English Adverbs | Galician Adverbs |
|---|---|
| adverbs | adverbios |
| I read a book sometimes | Leo libros ás veces |
| I will never smoke | Nunca fumarei |
| are you alone? | Estás só? (or) está só? |
