Lesson 12 - Adverbs in Korean

So what is adverbs?

-Adverbs can always be used to modify verbs.
-Adverbs are often formed by adding the letters “-ly”
 to adjectives. This makes is very easy to identify
 adverbs in sentences.
-An adverb can be used to modify an adjective and
 intensify the meaning it conveys.
 
Meron ding iba ibang uri ang adverbs. At ito yun:

-Adverbs of Time
-Adverbs of Place
-Adverbs of Manner
-Adverbs of Degree; and
-Adverbs of Frequency

Ang verb ay pwedeng gawing adverb sa Korean, parang
sa English din. For example:

Verb: quick
Adverb: quickly

Kung naalala nyo pa po yung tinuro ko nung una about sa
sentence arrangement na subject-object-verb, ang adverb
ay kahit saan pwedeng ilagay pwera lang sa dulo. Remember,
a Korean sentence must end in a verb or adjective. Here
are some example of adverbs in Korean:

바로[baro] = immediately
즉시[jeuksi] = immediately
빨리[ppalli] = quickly/fast
자주[jaju] = often
가끔[gakkeum] = sometimes
많이[manh-i] = many/a lot of
방금[banggeum] = a moment ago
곳[gos] = place
동시에[dungsi-e] = same time
밤[bam] = night
어젯밤[eojesbam] = last night
갑자기[gapjigi] = suddenly
매년[maenyeon] = every year
다시[dasi] = again
혼자[honja] = alone
낮[naj] = daytime
동[dong] = East
남[nam] = South
서[seo] = West
북[buk] = North

Ngayun pwede na natin silang gamitin sa sentence.

나는 먹어.
[ Naneun meok-eo ]
I eat.

혼자 나는 먹어.
[ Honja naneun meok-eo ]
I eat alone.

Sa mga adjectives naman para maging adverb, yung
다[da] pwede mong paltan ng 게[ge] para maging adverb
sya. For example:

Adjective: 쉽다[swipda] = to be easy
Adverb: 쉽게[swipge] = easily

Pwede ka rin gumamit ng maraming adverb sa isang
sentence gaya ng:

나는 빨리 쉽게 먹어.
[ Naneun ppalli swipge meok-eo ]
I quickly easily eat.

Pero sounds awkward.
