236. The neuter form of most adjectives can be used as an adverb: snart soon; höit high, or highly; smukt nicely; godt well etc.

Adverbs may furthermore be formed of adjectives (and partly of nouns) by the following endings:

1. –lig: snarlig soon; nylig recently; storlig greatly (of nouns: öieblikkelig instantly; hovedsagelig chiefly; fængslig only in connection with the verb anholde: fængslig anholde to arrest, derived from fængsel prison).

2. –vis, heldigvis happily; lykkeligvis happily; tydeligvis plainly (of nouns delvis partly; parvis in pairs; skevis by one spoonful).

3. –e: bare only; ilde ill; vide widely; gjerne willingly; D. grumme highly.
