I. Theory
Although German adverbs generally do not take an adverbial suffix, the suffix -weise is attached to a small group of adjectives (and some nouns) when they are used as adverbs. This is seen in English with adverbs ending in -wise (likewise, moneywise, timewise). In this lesson, we will cover four descriptive adverbs with this suffix.| Vorsicht! Die Brücke ist nur teilweise repariert worden. Be careful! The bridge has only been partly repaired. Ich höre die Kinder nicht. Möglicherweise sind sie ins Bett gegangen. I don’t hear the kids. Perhaps they went to bed. |
