Adverbs
Adverbs are words which describe qualificatives, predicatives, or other adverbs with respect to time, place, or manner.
As in many other Bantu languages, there is a close relationship in Sesotho between adverbs and nouns, with many adverbs appearing as normal nouns and locatives of nouns being used as adverbs. However, the function of an adverb is always clearly distinct from that of a noun.
Though adverbs are obviously usually used with a predicative, there are some cases where the predicative does not appear and the adverb may be assumed to be describing a covert copulative.
- Batho Pele People First (South African Government service delivery slogan), the full form may be assumed to be Ke Batho Pele It is the People First
