Learning the Romanian 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 Romanian language. But first we need to know what the role of Adverbs is in the structure of the grammar in Romanian.
Romanian 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 Romanian many
words are adverbs by nature. For example: Acum (now), de obicei (usually), and adesea (often) are all Romanian adverbs.
It should be noticed that double negation is often used in Romanian. In the example below there are two words with a negative meaning: niciodată (never) and nu (not).
Niciodata nu sunt ocupat. – Word by word, the sentence would have the following translation “I’m not never busy”. Obviously, it is meaningless in English, but very common in Romanian.
Here are some examples:
| English Adverbs | Romanian Adverbs |
|---|---|
| adverbs | adverbe |
| I read a book sometimes | Citesc o carte, uneori |
| I will never smoke | Nu voi mai fuma niciodată |
| are you alone? | eşti singur/singură? |
