Learning the Czech 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 Czech language. But first we need to know what the role of Adverbs is in the structure of the grammar in Czech.
Czech 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.
In English adverbs are usually formed by adding (-ly) to adjectives. In Czech, similarly, most adverbs are formed from adjectives, simply by changing the adjective affix -ý/-í into -e/-ě/-o/-u. Examples:
Pomalý (slow) becomes pomalu (slowly)
Dokonalý (perfect) becomes dokonale (perfectly)
Hlavní (main) becomes hlavně (mainly)
However that’s not always the case. Some words are adverbs by nature. For example:
Teď/nyní (now), opravdu (really), and brzy (soon) are all Czech adverbs.
Here are some examples:
| English Adverbs | Czech Adverbs |
|---|---|
| adverbs | příslovce |
| I read a book sometimes | Někdy jsem četl knihu |
| I will never smoke | Nikdy nebudu kouřit |
| are you alone? | jste sám? |
As you can see from the example above, the structure of the Adverbs in Czech has a logical pattern. Locate the Adverbs above and see how it works with the rest of the sentence in Czech.
