 [[Nûrlâm]] has few adverbs in it's core dictionary. But they could be easily made from adjectives or other lexical categories by adding suffix **//-arz//** to the root of short adjectives, or replacing suffix //-ûrz// of long adjectives with //-arz//. For example, //hîs// (quick) becomes //hîsarz// (quickly) but //aktûrz// (accurate) becomes //aktarz// (accurately). Please note, that adverbs in English often have the same form as adjectives (e.g. "quick" instead of "quickly"), but in Nûrlâm they should always have different form. [[Nûrlâm]] has few adverbs in it's core dictionary.

-Adverbs have no agreement with verbs in grammar. The only grammar form adverbs have beside nominal is the //comparative//, which is made by adding suffix **//-ar//** (the same as [[grammar_adjective|adjectives]]) placed after suffix //-arz// if adverb has it or after the root for short adverbs. Example is //hîsarz__ar__// (= more quickly). Technically the //superlative// form is also possible: //hîsarz__az__// = in the fastest way (lit. "the most quickliest", but it is extremely rare in colloquial speech.+Adverbs have no agreement with verbs in grammar.
