Adverbs - Galician Grammar

In Galician grammar, adverbs play a crucial role in adding information to verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. They provide details about manner, time, place, frequency, or degree. Adverbs help us express how an action is being carried out, when it happened, where it took place, how often it occurs, or how intense it is.

In Galician, adverbs are derived from adjectives by adding the suffix -mente to the feminine form of the adjective. For example, the adjective “rápido” (fast) becomes “rápidamente” (quickly). Adverbs can also be formed from nouns or prepositions by adding the same suffix. For example, the noun for “tempo” (time) becomes “temporamente” (temporarily). Another method of forming adverbs is by using the preposition “a” followed by the infinitive form of the verb, such as “a falar” (speaking).

Adverbs can be placed before or after the verb they modify, but they commonly follow the verb in Galician. However, some adverbs have specific positions in the sentence for clarity or emphasis. It is important for learners to understand these positions to convey their intended meaning effectively.
