Positive adverb

Post by Boban »

I have to find positive adverbs from book and I think there is one error in it.

Among adverbs from which I have to find positive adverb there is superlative adverb plurime, which I think it's error (typo). I think it has to be plurimum which positive is multum.

Am I right?

Hi Boban

The adverb can be compared multum, plus, plurimum. This is so because you use the accusative singular neuter as an adverb.

plurime is the 'regular' formation of the adverb from plurimus.

Hope this helps :)
