In the previous post<\/a>, I explained that adverbs describe verbs, and that we can derive adverbs from verbs, e.g. <\/span>\u0643\u062b\u064a\u0631\u0627\u064b<\/span>is derived from <\/span>\u0643\u062b\u064a\u0631<\/span>\u201cmuch\u201d. In this post, I present 2 constructions that are used as adverbs in Arabic. The first one is a prepositional phrase. If we use the preposition (<\/span>\u0628<\/span>) followed by the verbal noun, we have an adverbial, e.g. <\/span>\u0628\u0633\u0631\u0639\u0629<\/span>\u201cfast\u201d,<\/span>\u0628\u0643\u062b\u0631\u0629 <\/span>\u201cmuch\u201d, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cDo not smoke a lot.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Two types of nouns: active participle (<\/span>\u0627\u0633\u0645 \u0627\u0644\u0641\u0627\u0639\u0644<\/span>) and the passive participle (<\/span>\u0627\u0633\u0645 \u0627\u0644\u0645\u0641\u0639\u0648\u0644<\/span>) can be used as adverbs. Because they are nouns, they must be in the accusative case and take (<\/span>\u062a\u0646\u0648\u064a\u0646 \u0627\u0644\u0641\u062a\u062d<\/span>) if they are singular or the appropriate suffix for dual and plural; consider the following examples:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe man sat thinking about the problem.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u0648\u062c\u062f \u0627\u0644\u0634\u0631\u0637\u064a \u0627\u0644\u0631\u062c\u0644 \u0645\u0642\u062a\u0648\u0644\u0627\u064b \u0641\u064a \u0627\u0644\u0634\u0627\u0631\u0639.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe policeman found the man dead\/murdered on the road.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u062e\u0631\u062c \u0627\u0644\u0637\u0644\u0627\u0628 \u062d\u0627\u0645\u0644\u064a\u0646 \u0643\u062a\u0628\u0647\u0645.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe students left carrying their books.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

It is often possible to express the same meaning using different types of adverbials, e.g.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u062e\u0631\u062c\u062a \u0645\u0646 \u0627\u0644\u063a\u0631\u0641\u0629 <\/span>\u0633\u0631\u064a\u0639\u0627\u064b<\/span> \/ \u0628\u0633\u0631\u0639\u0629 \/<\/span>\u0645\u0633\u0631\u0639\u0629.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI left the room quickly.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
