Adverbs
In Romanian, adverbs usually determine verbs (but could also modify a clause or an entire sentence) by adding a qualitative description to the action. Romanian adverbs are invariant and are identical in shape (being both homophones and homographs) to the corresponding adjective in its masculine singular form. A remarkable counterexample for this is the adjective-adverb pair bun-bine ("good" - "well").
Some examples are
- Băieții sunt jucători buni. - The boys are good players. (adjective)
- Băieții joacă bine. - The boys play well. (adverb)
- Cântecul acesta este frumos. - This song is beautiful. (adjective)
- Cântăreața cântă frumos. - The singer sings beautifully. (adverb)
