Many people don’t know what an adverb is, in English nor Norwegian, so here are 3 definitions:

The word class that qualifies verbs or clauses.

A word that modifies something other than a noun

A word which gives us more information about a verb.

Now you know.....

«Han kjører hjem.» [«He drives home»] (Stedsadverb)**

«Hun skriver veldig pent.» [«She writes very pretty.» (Gradsadverb

+ Måtesadverb)

«Sangeren synger høyt.» [«The singer sings loud»] (Måtesadverb)

«Sangeren synger ikke høyt.» [«The singer sings not loudly.»*

(Nektingsadverb + Måtesadverb)

«Han sov lenge.» [«He slept long.»] (Tidsadverb)

*The singer doesn’t sing loud. (It was the only way to translate it the way I did to get

the correct words from Norwegian.)

”Adverb” is written the same as in

English and Norwegian, only

pronunced a little

different; ['ɑdʋæɾb]

Different forms of adverb;

** The words Stedsadverb, Gradsadverb, Måtesadverb,

Nektingsverb and Tidsadverb, haven’t got an English translation on

them, but I can try to translate some of them as good as I can;

Stedsadverb; Sted = Place. An adverb that that is or tells about

a place.

Tidsadverb; Tid = Time. An adverb that tells about or is a

specific time.

Nektingsadverb; Nekte/Nekting = Deny/Denial. Adverbs that

deny something. (Ex: No, not, can’t, won’t.)
