Adverbs are an important part of speech in Czech language that help add depth and description to sentences. They describe how, when, where, or to what extent an action is being performed. In this lesson, we will learn the basics of Czech adverbs, including their formation and placement in sentences.

Formation of Adverbs
Adverbs in Czech can be formed from adjectives by adding -e to the masculine form of the adjective. For example:
| Adjective | Adverb |
|---|---|
| dlouhý (long) | dlouze (longly) |
| rychlý (fast) | rychle (fastly) |
Some adverbs have their own unique form that is used instead of the adjective form. For example:
| Adjective | Adverb |
|---|---|
| tady (here) | tady (here) |
| dnes (today) | dnes (today) |
There are some adverbs that cannot be formed from adjectives and have their own unique form. For example:
| Adverb | English |
|---|---|
| teď (now) | now |
| tehdy (then) | then |
It's important to note that adverbs do not agree in gender or number with the noun they modify, unlike adjectives.
Placement of Adverbs
In Czech language, adverbs typically come before the verb they modify, but after the object of the sentence. For example:
- Já rychle běžím. (I run fastly.)
- Ona tady mluví anglicky. (She speaks English here.)
However, if the adverb modifies a specific part of the sentence, it can be placed elsewhere. For example:
- Ona anglicky tady mluví. (She speaks English here.)
This emphasizes that she is speaking English specifically here, not somewhere else.
Adverbs of Frequency
Adverbs of frequency describe how often something happens. In Czech, these adverbs typically come before the verb. For example:
- Vždycky kupuju čerstvé pečivo. (I always buy fresh pastries.)
- Někdy chodím do kina. (I sometimes go to the movies.)
Here are some common adverbs of frequency:
- vždycky (always)
- obvykle (usually)
- často (often)
- někdy (sometimes)
- zřídka (rarely)
- nikdy (never)
Adverbs of Manner
Adverbs of manner describe how an action is performed. In Czech, these adverbs usually come after the verb. For example:
- Maloval tuší jemně a precizně. (He painted with ink delicately and precisely.)
- Tančí živě a energicky. (She dances lively and energetically.)
Here are some common adverbs of manner:
- jemně (delicately)
- rychle (quickly)
- tiše (silently)
- energicky (energetically)
- precizně (precisely)
It's important to remember that not all adverbs of manner end in -e, and some have their own unique forms.
Conclusion
In this lesson, we learned about the basics of Czech adverbs, including their formation and placement in sentences. We also covered adverbs of frequency and manner. Adverbs are an essential part of speech that add detail and description to sentences, and with practice, you can master their usage in your language skills.
