Adverbs ending in —amment and —eminent derived from adjectives ending in —ant or —ent
Adjectives ending in -ant and -ent form the adverb with -amment and -emment, respectively:
| Adjective | English | Adverb | English |
|---|---|---|---|
| abondant | abundant | abondamment | abundantly |
| apparent | apparent | apparemment | apparently |
| brillant | brilliant | brillamment | brilliantly |
| constant | constant | constamment | constantly |
| courant | current | couramment | fluently |
| précédent | preceding | précédemment | beforehand |
| prudent | prudent | prudemment | prudently |
| violent | violent | violemment | violently |
| vaillant | valorous | vaillamment | with valour |
There are three forms which do not follow this pattern exactly:
| Adjective | English | Adverb | English |
|---|---|---|---|
| lent | slow | lentement | slowly |
| présent | present | présentement | presently |
| véhément | vehement | véhémentement | vehemently |
NB: véhémentement is quite rare, and avec véhémence is usually preferred.
3 forms follow the pattern, but the present participles from which they derive no longer exist in modern French:
| Verb | Adverb | |
|---|---|---|
| French | noter (notant - old French) | notamment |
| English | to note | notably |
| French | (scire - old French/Latin) | sciemment |
| English | knowingly |
