The adverbs (Τα Επιρρήματα)
show us place, time, means or manner, confirmation,
quantity, refusal or negation. The Adverbs modify the verbs.

Besides the adverbs that I show you in table 35.1,
we can make adverbs from the adjectives buy adding an - α- at the end.
Example :
From the adjective " όμορφος -
όμορφη -
όμορφο"
which means "handsome, beautiful" we can make the Adverb of
manner όμορφα meaning "beautifully" or from the the
adjective " καλός -
καλή -
καλό" which means
"good", we can make the Adverb " καλά" meaning "well".
