Rate this lesson:
By their meaning they are quite similar to English adverbs of degree.
For example:
дуже — very
занадто — too
багато — many, much, a lot
забагато — too many, too much
трохи — few, little, a bit
мало — few, little
замало — very few, very little
You can use some of these adverbs to increase or decrease the meaning of other adverbs (as well as comparative ones):
Вона дуже швидко бігає. — She runs very fast.
Він знає про цей фільм трохи більше ніж ти. — He knows about this movie a bit more than you.
Чи не могли б ви говорити трохи тихіше? — Would you mind talking a bit quiter?
