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 |
