Recently my husband and my daughter had some problems with formatting adverbs, so I thought it will be a great idea for today’s post!<\/p>\n
Adverbs (przys\u0142\u00f3wki<\/strong>) formed from adjectives end in –o <\/strong>or –‘e <\/strong>(with e <\/strong>preceded by softening), for example tanio\u00a0<\/strong>(cheaply<\/em>) from\u00a0tani\u00a0<\/strong>(cheap<\/em>),\u00a0\u00a0drogo <\/strong>(dearly)\u00a0<\/em>from drogi <\/strong>(dear<\/em>), g\u0119sto\u00a0<\/strong>(thickly<\/em>) from\u00a0g\u0119sty\u00a0<\/strong>(thick<\/em>),<\/em>\u00a0dobrze <\/strong>(well<\/em>) from dobry <\/strong>(good<\/em>), \u017ale <\/strong>(badly<\/em>) from z\u0142y <\/strong>(bad<\/em>). <\/em><\/p>\n <\/em>Generally speaking, adjectives whose stems end in a soft consonant (mi\u0119kka\u00a0sp\u00f3\u0142g\u0142oska)<\/strong> or in k<\/strong>, g<\/strong>, ch <\/strong>take the ending -o<\/strong>; most others, especially adjectives with stems ending in a consonant plus -ny<\/strong>, take -‘e<\/strong>. However, many or even most common adjectives form adverbs in -o <\/strong>regardless of the general pattern, as g\u0119sty g\u0119sto <\/strong>above.<\/p>\n Adverbs have comparative (stopie\u0144 wy\u017cszy<\/strong>)\u00a0and superlative (najwy\u017cszy stopie\u0144<\/strong>) forms in -‘ej <\/strong>and naj- <\/strong>+ -‘ej<\/strong>, respectively, as in:<\/p>\n ciep\u0142y <\/strong>warm, \u00a0ciep\u0142o\u00a0<\/strong>warmly, \u00a0cieplej <\/strong>more warmly, \u00a0najcieplej <\/strong>most warmly<\/p>\n zimny<\/strong> cold, \u00a0zimno<\/strong> cold, \u00a0zimniej<\/strong> colder ,\u00a0najzimniej<\/strong> most cold<\/p>\n Some formations are irregular.
