Discussion of "adverbu"

Comment #1:
The most important adverbs of all

First of all, I hate this word. I think it deserves a lujvo, not a
fu'ivla, but that's neither here nor there. My main complaint is about
your note. Unless the definition of "adverb" is very different in Russian
than in English, I think you are off the mark about what functions as
adverbs in lojban. fi'o and all the sumtcita I can think of are
prepositions, not adverbs (although there might be sumtcita that are not.
Please provide an example) I would also find it very difficult to think of
SEI clauses as adverbs. Things that I would class as lojbanic adverbs
would include some things we normally think of as tenses (e.g. TAhE). But
the biggest class of all that you have missed is seltau (which, yes, can
also be thought of as adjectives, because a tertau can be thought of as
either a noun or verb):
mi sutra bajra (I quickly run. sutra is an adverb here)
lo carmi blabi zdani cu ckape desku (that brilliantly white house is
dangerously shaking. carmi and ckape are adverbs here)

Well, this definition was written long ago based on discussion in IRC.
Looks like indeed it combined everything leading to a mess.
Adverbs are either sumsmi without an argument explicitley filled or tag in
selbri = tag? selbri-1
rule.
By SEI-clauses it was probably meant xoi, not sei.

Nope. Totally not. Those are compound verbs in English. Like "drip fry".
It's a common misconception that they are adverbs or adjectives.
Adjectives are what is NOI-clauses and NE-constructs but not seltau.
They are just commonly *translated* as adjectives or adverbs since in
English compound verbs are not that widely used.
