As a Ukrainian language teacher with 20 years of experience, I have helped many learners navigate the intricacies of Ukrainian grammar. In this lesson, we will focus on Ukrainian adverbs. This lesson is part of the "Complete 0 to A1 Ukrainian Course", aimed at complete beginners who wish to learn Ukrainian from scratch.
=== Understanding Adverbs ===
 
Adverbs in Ukrainian, much like in English, modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. They provide information about '''manner''', '''place''', '''time''', and '''degree'''. Here are the main categories of adverbs you will encounter:
 
* '''Adverbs of Manner''' – Describe how an action is performed.
 
* '''Adverbs of Time''' – Indicate when an action occurs.  
 
* '''Adverbs of Place''' – Specify where an action takes place.  
 
* '''Adverbs of Degree''' – Explain the intensity or extent of an action or quality.
 
=== Forms of Adverbs ===
 
Adverbs can be formed from adjectives by adding specific suffixes. Here are some key suffixes used to form adverbs in Ukrainian:
 
* '''-о''': Used to form adverbs from adjectives.
 
* '''-е''': Another common suffix.
 
Let’s look at some examples:
 
{| class="wikitable"
 
! Ukrainian !! Pronunciation !! English
 
|-
 
| швидко || shvydko || quickly
 
|-
 
| повільно || povil'no || slowly
 
|-
 
| красиво || krasyvo || beautifully
 
|-
 
| тихо || tykho || quietly
 
|-
 
| ясно || yasno || clearly
 
|}


Adverbs are words that describe or modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. They can indicate manner, time, frequency, degree, and quantity. In Ukrainian, adverbs can be formed from adjectives or they can be separate words.
=== Placement of Adverbs ===


In Ukrainian, the placement of adverbs can vary, but here are some general guidelines:

1. '''Before the verb''' – This is common for adverbs of manner.
==Forms of Adverbs==


There are several forms of adverbs in Ukrainian:
2. '''After the verb''' – Often used for adverbs of time and place.


===Adverbs formed from adjectives===
3. '''At the beginning of the sentence''' – This can emphasize the adverb.


Many Ukrainian adverbs are formed from adjectives by adding the suffix -о or -и. Here's how it works:
Here are some examples to illustrate these placements:


- If the adjective ends in a consonant or -ий, -ій, -їй, -ой, -ий, -ій, -їй, or -уючий, replace the ending with -о.
{| class="wikitable"


Example:
! Sentence Structure !! Example in Ukrainian !! English Translation
<table class="wikitable">
  <tr>
    <th>Ukrainian</th>
    <th>Pronunciation</th>
    <th>English</th>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>гарно</td>
    <td>/ˈɦɑrnɔ/</td>
    <td>beautifully, nicely</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>тихий</td>
    <td>/ˈtɪxɪj/</td>
    <td>quietly</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>більйонний</td>
    <td>/ˈbilʲjonnɪj/</td>
    <td>billion-fold</td>
  </tr>
</table>


- If the adjective ends in -ий, -ій, or -їй and the stem ends in a vowel, add the suffix -и.
|-


Example:
| Before the verb || Вона швидко біжить. || She runs quickly.
<table class="wikitable">
  <tr>
    <th>Ukrainian</th>
    <th>Pronunciation</th>
    <th>English</th>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>сірий</td>
    <td>/ˈsirɪj/</td>
    <td>grayly</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>білий</td>
    <td>/ˈbilɪj/</td>
    <td>white-ly</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>солодкий</td>
    <td>/sɔˈlɔdkiɪ̯/</td>
    <td>sweetly</td>
  </tr>
</table>


===Separate adverbs===
|-


Some Ukrainian adverbs are separate words. Here are some common examples:
| After the verb || Він повернувся додому рано. || He returned home early.


<table class="wikitable">
|-
  <tr>
    <th>Ukrainian</th>
    <th>Pronunciation</th>
    <th>English</th>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>тут</td>
    <td>/tut/</td>
    <td>here</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>там</td>
    <td>/tam/</td>
    <td>there</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>дуже</td>
    <td>/ˈduʒe/</td>
    <td>very</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>завжди</td>
    <td>/zɑwʒˈdɪ/</td>
    <td>always</td>
  </tr>
</table>


==Placement of Adverbs==
| At the beginning || Сьогодні ясно! || It is clear today!


In Ukrainian, adverbs usually come after the verb they modify. However, they can also come before the verb or at the beginning or end of a sentence for emphasis.
|}


Example:
=== Comparative Forms of Adverbs ===
<ul>
<li>Я <b>гарно</b> співаю. (I sing <b>well</b>.)</li>
<li>Я співаю <b>гарно</b>. (I <b>well</b> sing.)</li>
<li><b>Гарно</b> я співаю. (<b>Well</b> I sing.)</li>
<li>Навіть тоді, <b>коли</b> я був хворий, я <b>працював</b>. (Even when I was sick, I <b>worked</b>.)</li>
</ul>


==Comparative Forms of Adverbs==
Adverbs can also have comparative forms, which are used to compare actions or qualities. In Ukrainian, this is usually done by adding the word '''"більше"''' (more) or '''"менше"''' (less) before the adverb. However, some adverbs have irregular comparative forms.


Like adjectives, some Ukrainian adverbs have comparative forms to indicate degree. To form the comparative of an adverb, add -іше to the end if the adverb ends in a consonant or -ше if it ends in a vowel.
Here are examples of comparative forms:


Example:
{| class="wikitable"
<table class="wikitable">
  <tr>
    <th>Ukrainian</th>
    <th>Pronunciation</th>
    <th>English</th>
    <th>Comparative Form</th>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>швидко</td>
    <td>/ˈʃwɪdkɔ/</td>
    <td>quickly</td>
    <td>швидше</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>багато</td>
    <td>/bɑˈɦɑtɔ/</td>
    <td>much</td>
    <td>більше</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>легко</td>
    <td>/ˈlɛɦkɔ/</td>
    <td>easily</td>
    <td>легше</td>
  </tr>
</table>


==Using Adverbs in Sentences and Conversations==
! Ukrainian !! Pronunciation !! English


Now that you know how to form and use Ukrainian adverbs, it's time to practice using them in sentences and conversations. Here are some examples:
|-


<ul>
| швидше || shvydshe || faster
<li>Я завжди прокидаюся рано. (I always wake up early.)</li>
<li>Вона говорила дуже повільно. (She spoke very slowly.)</li>
<li>Він працює <b>найкраще</b> у групі. (He works <b>the best</b> in the group.)</li>
<li>Ти готуєш дуже смачно! (You cook very tasty!)</li>
<li>Сьогодні я почуваюсь дуже добре. (Today I feel very good.)</li>
</ul>


Remember to pay attention to the form and placement of adverbs in a sentence. Practice with these examples and try using adverbs in conversations with native Ukrainian speakers.
|-


==Conclusion==
| повільніше || povil'nishe || slower


Adverbs are an important part of Ukrainian grammar, as they describe or modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. Ukrainian adverbs can be formed from adjectives or they can be separate words. They usually come after the verb they modify, but can also come before the verb or at the beginning or end of a sentence for emphasis. Some adverbs have comparative forms to indicate degree. Practice using Ukrainian adverbs in sentences and conversations to improve your language skills.

Understanding Adverbs[edit | edit source]

Adverbs in Ukrainian, much like in English, modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. They provide information about manner, place, time, and degree. Here are the main categories of adverbs you will encounter:

  • Adverbs of Manner – Describe how an action is performed.
  • Adverbs of Time – Indicate when an action occurs.
  • Adverbs of Place – Specify where an action takes place.
  • Adverbs of Degree – Explain the intensity or extent of an action or quality.

Forms of Adverbs[edit | edit source]

Adverbs can be formed from adjectives by adding specific suffixes. Here are some key suffixes used to form adverbs in Ukrainian:

  • -о: Used to form adverbs from adjectives.
  • -е: Another common suffix.

Let’s look at some examples:
