+===Adverbs===
+Usually adverbs are formed by suffixation: many adverbs derive from adjectives, to that the suffix ''-ews'' is added. Some examples:
+* ''elyf > elfews'' (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.: ''iwydd > eu''; ''penyr > ffawl''.
+Adverbs have got a precis position within the sentence:
+) adverbs always follow subject when in the sentence there is only the verb '''ynyn''' (= to be), ex.: '''yf ew mal elyf''' (= "I am very happy");
+) adverbs always follow the semantic verb, when it appears, ex.: '''ys ỳ dagrwonn thenarews''' (= "She cries strongly");
+) adverbs always precede adjectives, ex.: '''ys o elion lur''' (= "He's a little sad").
