Language: Adverbs

In Armenian Grammar, adverbs play a crucial role in modifying verbs, adjectives, and other adverbs. They add depth and specificity to a sentence, providing information about time, place, manner, frequency, degree, and purpose.

One key aspect of adverbs in Armenian is that they are usually derived from adjectives by adding the suffix “-ություն” (-utyun). For example, the adjective “արագ” (fast) becomes the adverb “արագություն” (quickly). However, some adverbs are irregular and do not follow this pattern.

Armenian adverbs can also be formed by adding the suffix “-ելու” (-elու) to the root of a verb. For instance, the verb “անում” (to walk) becomes the adverb “անուլու” (walking).

In addition, adverbs in Armenian can be formed by using words like “շատ” (very), “չափազանց” (extremely), or “ընթացաք” (continuously) before an adjective or adverb. These words indicate the degree or intensity of the described action or state.

Overall, understanding the rules and patterns of adverbs in Armenian Grammar is essential for mastering the language and enhancing one’s ability to express oneself effectively.
