Learning the Hungarian Adverbs displayed below is vital to the language. Hungarian 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 Hungarian many adverbs are formed from adjectives by adding the suffix -<vowel>n to the singular form of adjectives. In some cases the root of the adjective also changes. Examples:
Lassú (slow) becomes lassan (slowly)
Tökéletes (perfect) becomes tökéletesen (perfectly)
Bamba (inane, oafish) becomes bambán
Sűrű (thick) becomes sűrűn
Lagymatag (tepid, lukewarm, half-hearted) becomes lagymatagon
However that’s not always the case. Some words are adverbs by nature. For example:
Hogyan (how), and hőn (ardently, fervently) are natural Hungarian adverbs.
Here are some examples:
| English Adverbs | Hungarian Adverbs |
|---|---|
| adverbs | határozószók |
| I read a book sometimes | Néha könyvet olvasok |
| I will never smoke | Soha nem fogok dohányozni |
| are you alone? | Egyedül vagy? |
