Learning the Albanian Adverbs is very important because its structure is used in every day conversation. The more you practice the subject, the closer you get to mastering the Albanian language. But first we need to know what the role of Adverbs is in the structure of the grammar in Albanian.
Albanian adverbs are part of speech. Generally they're words that modify any part of language other than a noun. Adverbs can modify verbs, adjectives (including numbers), clauses, sentences and other adverbs.
While in English adverbs are usually formed by adding (-ly) to adjectives. In Albanian many adverbs are formed from adjectives, simply by adding the suffix -mente to the singular feminine form of adjectives. Examples:
Ngadalë (slow) becomes i ngadalshëm/ e ngadalshme (slowly)
I, e përsosur (perfect) becomes në mënyrë të përkryer (perfectly)
However that’s not always the case. Some words are adverbs by nature. For example:
Tash/tani (now), vërtet (really), and së shpejti (soon) are all Albanian adverbs.
Here are some examples:
| English Adverbs | Albanian Adverbs |
|---|---|
| adverbs | ndjafoljet |
| I read a book sometimes | Unë lexoj ndonjëherë |
| I will never smoke | Unë kurrë nuk do të pi duhan |
| are you alone? | Je vetëm? |
As you can see from the example above, the structure of the Adverbs in Albanian has a logical pattern. Locate the Adverbs above and see how it works with the rest of the sentence in Albanian.
