 ﻿Interrogative adverbs are kde, where ; odkud, whence; kam, whither; kudy, kady, in what way, qua; kdy, when ; kolikrát, how many times ; jak, how.

Relative adverbs : kde, where ; odkud, whence; kam, whither ; kudy, in what way; kdy or když, when; kolikrát, how many times; jak, as.

Demonstrative adverbs: tu, there; zde, here; tam, onde, thither ; odtud, odonud, from there, from yonder; sem, here ; 011am, thither; tudy, lady, in this way, hac; onady, in that way, ea; tenkráte, now, then; tehdy, then ; nyni, ted, now; tolikrát, so many times; tak, takto, so; tím (oním) spůsobem, this or that way.

Indefinite : nekde, somewhere ; kdekoli, wherever; odněkud, from any place ; odkudkoli, from any place whatsoever ; někam, any whither ; kamkoli, in any direction soever; někudy, in some way, aliqua; kudykoli, in any way whatsoever ; několikrát, several times; nickrat, no times ; kolikrátkoli, how many times soever; nějaký somehow ; jaksi, jakkoli, in what way soever.

Many adverbs are cases of nouns, and to form these the instrumental is chiefly used, e. g. během dvou století, in the course of two centuries.

The negative adverb ne is used in Bohemian where it would not be required in English1, as prve než k tomu došlo, before it came to this.

Two negatives do not make an affirmative, as já nikdy, to věř, neměl toho v lásce člověka, believe me, I never liked that man. Bohemian has, in common with the other Slavonic languages, the idiom of adding ne to an adjective and reversing its meaning, thus, nepřátelský, hostile (cf. the Greek idiom

ívaxoí^óvwv yvvaiKaiv ovk 6\iyat).

1 Cf. such expressions in French as the following:—Cet homme est plus heureux qu'on ne pense.
