In today's lesson, we will learn how to form adverbs in Estonian.

While in English adverbs are usually formed by adding -ly to adjectives.

In Estonian many adverbs are formed from adjectives, simply by using the ablative case of the adjective.

However it's not always the case.

Some words are adverbs by nature.

Examples:

The following examples use adverbs in different ways and places to demonstrate how it behaves in a sentence.

Do you understand me now ? `[pronoun + verb + adverb]` kas saate minust nüüd aru?
I need help immediately `[noun + adverb]` vajan kohe abi
she is very intelligent `[adverb + adjective]` ta on väga intelligentne
I will always love you `[verb + adverb]` ma jään teid alati armastama
can we learn german together ? `[adverb in a question]` kas me võiksime koos saksa keelt õppida?
