Creation of Slovak adverbs

Eventhough there are no exact rules on how to create the adverbs, we will introduce you the two most common ways:

1. from adjectives (múdry - múdro = wisely, šťastný - šťastne = happily etc.)
2. from verbs (opiť - opito = drunk, stáť - postojačky = while standing etc.)

Gradation of Slovak adverbs

You will get familiar the three ways of gradation of the adverbs:

1. regular ( rýchlo - rýchlejšie - najrýchlejšie = fast - faster - the fastest)
2. irregular (dobre - lepšie - najlepšie = good - better - the best)
3. with a description (vpravo - viac v pravo - najviac v pravo = on the right - more on the right - the most on the right)
