Adverbs- Adverbs derived from Adjectives


Italian
Many adverbs are derived from adjectives.

Adjectives that change based on gender (masculine -o, feminine -a) take the feminine form of the adjective and add -mente to it: rapido -> rapidamente (rapid -> rapidly)

If an adjective ends with -le or -re it will drop the e before adding -mente.

facile -> facilmente (easy -> easily)
naturle -> naturalmente (natural -> naturally)
