Uzbek adverbs are part of speech. Generally they're words that modify any part of language other than a noun. Adverbs can modify verbs, adjectives (including numbers), clauses, sentences and other adverbs.
Grammar Tips:
While in English adverbs are usually formed
by adding (-ly) to adjectives, in Uzbek there’s no difference
between adjective and adverb forms. We use one and the same word to describe
both singns of the nouns and verbs. Examples:
Sekin (slow) becomes Sekin (slowly)
Bu sekin poyezd (It’s a slow train) Bu poyezd sekin yuradi (This train goes slowly)
A’lo (perfect) becomes A’lo (perfectly)
U menga a’lo javob berdi (He gave me a
perfect answer) U har savollarga
a’lo javob beradi (He answers
all questions perfectly)
However that’s not always the case. Some words are adverbs by nature. For
example:
Xozir (now), haqiqiy (really), and yaqinda
(soon) are some Uzbek adverbs.
Here are some examples:
| English Adverbs | Uzbek Adverbs |
| adverbs | ravishlar |
| I read a book sometimes | bazan men kitobni o'qiyman |
| I will never smoke | men hech qachon chekmayman |
