Adverbs

Many adverbs do not correspond to an adjective form. Such adverbs can refer to time, manner and place. An example of each is now, naturally and here respectively. The order of these three types of adverbs isn't important because the meaning is still there. Nevertheless they must be as close as possible to the verb, adjective, or noun described otherwise the meaning of the sentence will change.  The only difference in the following sentences below is the position of only.  The meaning of the sentence changes with the shift the word only. For the significance or order, see the sentence structures of Meσoγeóiκa.

Sentence 1: The only cat was killed.
Sentence 2: The cat was only killed.

In the first sentence, there was one cat alone.  In the second sentence the act of killing is shown to be insignificant because of the word only.  Thus in the first sentence, the adverb, referred to the cat, and in the second sentence, it referred to killed.

ADVERBS FROM ADJECTIVES

To change adjectives, to an adverb, in English, add "-ly" to the adjective.  In Meσoγeóiκa, one must drop the adjective ending, and add "aμénta."  All adverbs of this type are accented the same. For example, σiγó (slow) becomes σiγaμénta (slowly).

COMPARATIVE AND SUPERLATIVE OF ADVERBS

There are two ways of forming the comparative and superlative of adjectives. Either way is equally acceptable. To strengthen the character of the comparativeness or superlativeness, merge the two types together as "πλuς яoλdeτeρaμénta" for the adjective "яoλdaμénta." The table below showing all the forms of the comparative and relative superlative is of the adjective "яóλdo."

To create the adverb from the adjective, simply drop the adjectival ending and ad “-aμénτa.”
