Adverbs in Armenian
Adverbs have 3 common suffixes:
-աբար-որեն-պես
Several commonly used examples of each group of adverb is listed below:
-աբար
| համեմատել | to compare | Համեմատաբար | comparatively |
| ընկեր | friend | Ընկերաբար | friendly |
| մայր | mother | Մայրաբար | motherly |
| դժբախտ | unlucky | Դժբախտաբար | unfortunately |
-որեն
| արագ | quick | Արագորեն | quickly |
| լուրջ | serious | Լրջորեն | seriously |
| ազնիվ | honest | Ազնվորեն | honestly |
| ջերմ | warm | Ջերմորեն | warmly |
-պես
| անմիջապես | immediately |
| Հոգեպես | psychologically |
| ընդհանրապես | in general |
| պարզապես | simply |
| նմանապես | in the same way |
| բացարձակապես | absolutely |
| իսկապես | really |
| ֆիզիկապես | physically |
Adverbs are placed before the verb they refer to.
- Հասմիկը մայրաբար օգնում է փոքրիկին։ Hasmik helps the small child as a mother would do.
- Աշոտը արագորեն բացում է դուռը։ Ashot quickly opens the door.
- Ձմռանը մենք ֆիզիկապես հանգստանում ենք։ In winter we rest physically.
Sometimes nouns in the instrumental case can be used as adverbs. “խաղաղություն” is a noun meaning “peace”, but when put into the instrumental case becomes “խաղաղությամբ,” which means “with peace” or “peacefully.”
- Վեճն ավարտվում է խաղաղությամբ: The argument ends with peace.
- Նա համբերությամբ է աշխատում մարդկանց հետ։ He patiently works with people.
Some words, such as լավ and վատ can be used both as adjectives and as adverbs.
- Անուշը լավ աշխատող է։ Anush is a good worker.
- Անուշը լավ է աշխատում։ Anush works well.
