While in English adverbs are usually formed by adding (-ly) to adjectives. In Georgian many adverbs are formed from adjectives, simply by adding the suffix –ad, -a to the singular feminine form of adjectives.
Examples:
- neli (slow) becomes nela (slowly)
- srulyofili (perfect) becomes srulyofilad (perfectly)
However that’s not always the case. Some words are adverbs by nature.
For example:
- axla (now),
- namdvili - namdvilad (really),
- and male (soon)
are all Georgian adverbs.
