In the Circassian language adverbs belong to these groups:

• adverbs of place,
• adverbs of time,
• adverbs of quality,
• adverbs of amount.

Adverbs of place answer the question тыдэ́? "where, where to, from where?" :

• мыдэ́ "here",
• модэ́ "there", and others;

Adverbs of time answer the question сыдигъо́? "when?" :

• непэ́ "today",
• тыгъуасэ́ "yesterday",
• неущы́ "tomorrow",
• неущмык1э́ "the day after tomorrow",
• джыдэдэ́м "now",
• пчэдыжьы́ "at morning",
• пчыхьэ́м "at evening",
• гъэмафэ́м "in summer" and others.

Adverbs of quality is the biggest group:

• къабзэ́у "cleanly",
• чыжьэ́у "far",
• псынк1э́у "quickly",
• дахэ́у "beautifully",
• благъэ́у "near" and others.

As a rule, adverbs of this group are formed from the appropriate qualitative adjectives using the suffix -у.

Adverbs of amount:

• мак1э́у "few",
• бэрэ́ "often".

Formation of adverbs

Adverbs can be produced different ways and from different parts of speech. The most productive ways to form adverbs are:

suffixing:

• дахэ́-у "beautifully" (from дахэ́ "beautiful"),
• шъабэ́-у "softly" (from шъабэ́ "soft"),
• пытэ́-у "firmly" (from пытэ́ "firm");

concatenating:

• неущпчэдыжьы́ "tomorrow morning" (неущы́ "tomorrow" + пчэдыжьы́ "morning"),
• щэджэгъоужы́м "after dinner" (щэджа́гъу "dinner time" + уж "after");

rethinking or transfer of some forms of words of different parts of speech into adverbs:

• пчыхьэ́м "nights" (пчыхьэ́м "evening", ergative case),
• л1ыгъэк1э́ "forcibly" (л1ыгъэк1э́ "by courage", instrumental case).

In a sentence adverbs play role of adverbials:

• Сэ дэгъо́у сэ́джэ "I study well";
• Лэжьак1охэ́р пчэдыжьы́м жьэ́у къэтэджы́х "Workers get up early at morning" and so on.
