Welcome to the lesson on adverbs of manner in Tosk Albanian! Adverbs of manner are an essential part of any language as they allow us to describe how an action is performed. In this lesson, we will explore how to use adverbs of manner in Tosk Albanian and their placement within a sentence. Understanding adverbs of manner will greatly enhance your ability to express yourself in Tosk Albanian and add depth to your conversations. So let's dive in and discover the exciting world of adverbs of manner!
| shpejtësisht || ʃpɛjtɛˈsiʃt || swiftly


== What are Adverbs of Manner? ==
|-


Adverbs of manner are words that describe how an action is performed. They provide additional information about the verb and answer the question "How?" or "In what manner?". In English, adverbs of manner often end in "-ly," such as "quickly" or "happily." However, in Tosk Albanian, adverbs of manner do not have a specific ending, making them more versatile and flexible.
| me kujdes || mɛ kuˈjɛdɛs || carefully


== Placement of Adverbs of Manner ==
|-


In Tosk Albanian, adverbs of manner can be placed in different positions within a sentence, depending on the emphasis and desired effect. Let's explore the different placements and their examples:
| me pasion || mɛ paˈsɪon || passionately


=== Placement before the verb ===
|-


One common placement for adverbs of manner is before the verb. This placement emphasizes the manner in which the action is performed. Here are some examples:
| pa zhurmë || pɑ ʒuˈrmə || noiselessly


* ''Shpejt ka vrapuar.'' (He ran quickly.)
|-
* ''Mirë ka kënduar.'' (She sang well.)


In these examples, the adverbs of manner "shpejt" (quickly) and "mirë" (well) come before the verbs "ka vrapuar" (ran) and "ka kënduar" (sang), respectively.
| qartë || ʧɑrtə || clearly


=== Placement after the verb ===
|-


Another common placement for adverbs of manner is after the verb. This placement is more neutral and does not emphasize the manner as much as the previous placement. Here are some examples:
| lehtësisht || lɛhtɛˈsiʃt || lightly


* ''Ai ka vrapuar shpejt.'' (He ran quickly.)
|-
* ''Ajo ka kënduar mirë.'' (She sang well.)


In these examples, the adverbs of manner "shpejt" (quickly) and "mirë" (well) come after the verbs "ka vrapuar" (ran) and "ka kënduar" (sang), respectively.
| me urtësi || mɛ urˈtsi || wisely


=== Placement at the beginning or end of a sentence ===
|}


Adverbs of manner can also be placed at the beginning or end of a sentence for emphasis or stylistic purposes. Here are some examples:
=== Placement of Adverbs of Manner ===


* ''Shpejt vrapoi ai.'' (Quickly, he ran.)
In Tosk Albanian, the placement of adverbs of manner generally follows the verb they modify. However, they can also be placed at the beginning or the end of the sentence for emphasis. Here are some basic rules to remember:
* ''Mirë këndoi ajo.'' (Well, she sang.)


In these examples, the adverbs of manner "shpejt" (quickly) and "mirë" (well) are placed at the beginning of the sentences to emphasize the manner.
1. '''After the verb''': This is the most common placement.


=== Placement within the sentence ===
* Example: '''Ai vrapon shpejt.''' (He runs quickly.)


Adverbs of manner can also be placed within the sentence, separating the subject and the verb. This placement is less common but can be used for stylistic variation. Here are some examples:
2. '''Before the verb''': Used for emphasis or stylistic choices.


* ''Ai vrapoi shpejt.'' (He ran quickly.)
* Example: '''Shpejt ai vrapon.''' (Quickly, he runs.)
* ''Ajo këndoi mirë.'' (She sang well.)


In these examples, the adverbs of manner "shpejt" (quickly) and "mirë" (well) are placed between the subject and the verb.
3. '''At the end of the sentence''': This can also add emphasis.


It's important to note that the placement of adverbs of manner in Tosk Albanian is flexible, and you can experiment with different positions to achieve the desired emphasis and effect in your sentences.
* Example: '''Ai vrapon. Shpejt.''' (He runs. Quickly.)
