Indonesian Adverbs

Learning the Indonesian Adverbs is very important because its structure is used in every day conversation. The more you master it the more you get closer to mastering the Indonesian language. But first we need to know what the role of Adverbs is in the structure of the grammar in Indonesian.

Indonesian 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.

Grammar Tips:

While in English adverbs are usually formed by adding (-ly) to adjectives. In Indonesian many adverbs are formed this way:

 

pelan (slow) becomes pelan-pelan (slowly)

sempurna (perfect) becomes dengan sempurna (perfectly)

 

However that’s not always the case. Some words are adverbs by nature. For example:

sekarang (now), benar-benar (really),  segera (soon), malam ini (tonight), cantik (pretty), hampir (almost)

are all Indonesian adverbs.


Here are some examples:
