Adverbs
Adverbs are words that say something about the time, place, manner, or degree regarding a verb, adjective, or another adverb. Some words are adverbial by nature, like now, very, and too in English; some are created from other sorts of word by adding -e to the root, much like those created by adding -ly in English:
Nu, irez vivar felice sempre poste o me mustos fal-pedfrapar la denti ec vua boko. | Now, go live happily ever after or I’ll have to dropkick the teeth out of your mouth. |
« He! Vu dormez heme. — Pro quo? On pagas me dormar hike. » | “Hey! You count sheep at home.” “Why? I get paid to count ‘em here.” |
Vua matro esas hike interne, Karras. Ka plezus a vu lasar komunikajo? Me certigos ke el recevez olu. | Your mother’s in here, Karras. Would you like to leave a message? I’ll see that she gets it. |
Me volas ke vu frapez me maxim forte posible. | I want you to hit me as hard as you can. |
Experto esas lu qua savas sempre multe pri sempre poke. | An expert is one who knows more and more about less and less. |
Vu esas quale la furtisto qua ne regretas mem minime ke lu furtis, ma multege regretas ke lu iros a karcero. | You’re like the thief who isn’t the least bit sorry he stole, but is terribly, terribly sorry he’s going to jail. |
