Brytho-Hellenic: Difference between revisions

Usually adverbs are formed by suffixation: many adverbs derive from adjectives, to that the suffix ''-ews'' is added. Some examples:

* ''elyv > elvews'' (happy - happily);

* ''lur > lurews'' (sad - sadly);

* ''meal > mealews'' (great - greatly);

* ''thenar > thenarews'' (strong - strongly);

* ''athin > athinews'' (weak - weakly).  

Some adverbs have got suppletive forms, ex.: ''iwŷdh > eu''; ''penyr > fawl''.

* 1) adverbs always follow subject when in the sentence there is only the verb '''ynyn''' (= to be), ex.: '''yv mal elyv''' (= "I am very happy"), '''dagrwŷ ý thenarews''' (= "She cries strongly");

* 2) adverbs always precede adjectives, ex.: '''it o elion lur''' (= "He's a little sad").

In Brythohellenic place adverbs ''nawdh'' and ''kys'' inflect to express state or movement to and from. The adverb ''w'', "where", also inflects:

!'''W'''

!'''Nawdh'''

!'''Kys'''

|w

|nawdh

|kys

|oe

|nawdhes

|kyses

|ŵen

|nawdhen

|kysen

The adverb ''w'' has got also a relative function:

* ''It to ŷwn to peli, ŵen ergw'' - This is the town where I come from;

* ''It to ledh to peli, oe ovylw ferthae'' - That is the town where I have to go.

Other place adverbs are: ''alodh'', ''alodhes'', ''alodhen'', respectively "elsewhere", "from elsewhere", "(to) elsewhere"; ''wdhovw'', "nowhere" and "from nowhere", ''wdhovon'', "(to) nowhere"; ''edhovw'' "somewhere" and "from somewhere", ''edhovon, "(to) somewhere".

* ''nun'' - now;

* ''hunydhen'' - usually;

* ''wvodh'' - never;
