ADVERBS & PREPOSITIONS

as opposed to Adlibs and Propositions 
ADVERBS

Since even NRA members know* that adverbs are actually adjectives which modify verbs or other adjectives, in DiLingo an adjective is made into an adverb by adding the interfix, "-at-," and duplicating the root word as the suffix beginning with the first vowel.  As we would have hoped beyond our wildest dreams, the more colorful one's sentence is, the sillier it begins to sound.  And this is good.  I guess.
 
good bing well bingating
bad schling badly schlingating
 
*Well, maybe.

Irregular Adverbs

 
here hingm
there thingm
where fringm
