Umbrean Lessons/09 Adverbs

Now you can put adjectives in, form simple sentences, learned the various aspect and tenses one can use in umbrean to form sentences along with slight moods and voices though one of them will be explained further later. But That is still not enough, we all use adverbs to describe actions in greater details and adjectives aswell. Here will we go through only the ones dealing with adjectives as the ones with verbs are in quite a different system where it may not be all that neccisery.

=Adjectives= Adjectival adverbs are meant to describe to what extent an adjective is. In umbrean adjectival adverbs agree with the adjective in gender and number (which it in turn got from the noun). The adverbial endings can be placed on adjectives or noun roots directly in order to act.

 * -ua
 * -u

 * -yc

Let us take an example from before


 * {|class="wikitable" style="text-align: center;"

! Tyciuvö döndius' It is all good and nice, but how black was it exacly? one way we could describe it as would be "a tooth that was as black as coal" which is very long, most of us would say "a coal black tooth" and that is the one we will use, coal is "s'añó" and is of non-moving gender. so lets form it in umbrean with splittings like before
 * A black tooth
 * }
 * }


 * {|class="wikitable" style="text-align: center;"

! colspan=4 |S'añu tyciuv'ö döndius' The tooth and black part is left unbranched for meaning as they have been done already. But as you see "S'añó" was split up into "S'añ-" and "-u", that is as said before because the root is the word minus gender vowel at the end, the verb is living and singular so the adjective adverb ending is "-u" and hence is placed directly onto it
 * colspan=2 | S'añu
 * tjyciuv'ö
 * döndius'
 * S'añ-
 * u
 * tjyciuv'ö
 * döndius'
 * colspan=4 |A coal black tooth
 * }
 * colspan=4 |A coal black tooth
 * }
 * }
