Lesson 4 - Adverbs

By definition, an adverb can modify an adjective, a verb, or another adverb.

You can make an adverb, by, conjugating an adjective. If you go to the "i" form of adjectives, then, you drop the "i" and add "ku."

Utsukushii - beautiful
Utsukushiku - beautifully

If you are referring to a "na" adjective, then, drop the "na" and add "ni."

Shizuka - quiet
Shizukani - quietly

These are adverbs that can indicate time

ky" - today
kin" - yesterday
ashita - tomorrow
ima - now
sugu - immediately
mada - yet
