Quantity Adverbs
These small words say how much or how well.
How It Works
These adverbs have one form each.
| Word | Meaning | Example |
|---|---|---|
| plan | very; well | Es plan bèla. Parli plan. |
| fòrça | a lot | Joan manja fòrça. |
| pro | enough | Avèm pro de pan. |
| tròp | too much, too | Parlas tròp. |
| pas gaire | not much | Trabalhi pas gaire. |
Use plan for very and well, not the Catalan molt. Before a noun, add de: pro de pan. Gaire almost always comes with pas, and the pattern has its own entry. For a measured amount, use a phrase such as un pauc de pan.
