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.
Examples:
- Aeglane (slow) becomes aeglaselt (slowly)
- Kaunis (beautiful) becomes kaunilt (beautifully)
However that’s not always the case. Some words are adverbs by nature.
For example:
- Nüüd (now),
- tõesti (really),
- varsti (soon)
