Learning the Greek Adverbs displayed below is vital to the language. Greek 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 Greek many adverbs are formed from adjectives, simply by changing the suffix -ος of the singular masculine form of adjectives to -α. Examples:
αργός (slow) becomes αργά (slowly)
τέλειος (perfect) becomes τέλεια (perfectly)
Other adverbs maintain the Ancient Greek suffix –ως, for example: ακριβώς (exactly) εντελώς (totally).
Here are some examples:
| English Adverbs | Greek Adverbs |
|---|---|
| adverbs | epirrhmata - επιρρήματα |
| I read a book sometimes | diavazw ena vivlio merikes fores - διαβάζω ενα βιβλιο μερικές φορές |
| I will never smoke | Den tha kapnisw pote - Δεν θα καπνίσω ποτέ |
| are you alone? | eisai monos; - είσαι μόνος; |
