い-adj 〜く / な-adj 〜に + V (i-adj ~ku / na-adj ~ni + V) — Saying how the action is done
It tells how the action is done — early, quietly, big.
Formula (सूत्र ढाँचा)
Grammar rule (व्याकरण नियम र परिभाषा)
Meaning
When an adjective goes with a verb, it becomes the word that says "how".
How to attach
For an い-adjective, い → く (早い → 早く); for a な-adjective, add に (静か → 静かに); then put the verb: 早く 起きます, 静かに 話します.
Versus what you know
- This is the same 〜く / 〜に shape as the 〜く／〜に します point; the only difference is what follows: with します it changes the state of a thing, with any other verb it says how the action was done.
- 早く 起きます = I get up early, 音を 小さく します = I turn the sound down.
Watch out
いい becomes よく — that one has to be memorised.
