Beside these simple adverbs there are derived adverbs. They can be derived from a adjective or, more seldom, from a noun.
| Derived adverbs |
| from a adjective |
| Luckily nothing bad happened. |
| Unfortunately he did not tell me. |
| from a noun |
| He behaved bloody stupid. |
| He drank bucketfuls of wine. |
This system is not productive, which means that new words can not easily be created. Either a word already exists and is to be found in a dictionary, or it does not exist. Here, there is no difference between simple and derived adverbs.
