== Adverbs and their comparatives and superlatives ==
Adverbs are not declined. However, adverbs must be formed if one wants to make an adjective into an adverb.

=== Adverbs from first- and second-declension adjectives ===
First and second declension adjectives' adverbs are formed by adding ''-ē'' onto their stems.
{| class="wikitable"
!Adjective||Adverb
|-
|{{wikt-lang|la|clarus|clārus, clāra, clārum}} ('clear, famous')||{{wikt-lang|la|clārē}} ('clearly, famously')
|-
|{{wikt-lang|la|validus|validus, valida, validum}} ('strong, robust')||{{wikt-lang|la|validē}} ('strongly, robustly')
|-
|{{wikt-lang|la|infirmus|īnfīrmus, īnfīrma, īnfīrmum}} ('weak')||{{wikt-lang|la|īnfīrmē}} ('weakly')
|-
|{{wikt-lang|la|solidus|solidus, solida, solidum}} ('complete, firm')||{{wikt-lang|la|solidē}} ('completely, firmly')
|-
|{{wikt-lang|la|integer|integer, integra, integrum}} ('whole, fresh')||{{wikt-lang|la|integrē}} ('wholly, freshly')
|-
|{{wikt-lang|la|liber|līber, lībera, līberum}} ('free')||{{wikt-lang|la|līberē}} ('freely')
|}

=== Adverbs from third declension adjectives ===
Typically, third declension adjectives' adverbs are formed by adding ''-iter'' to the stem. However, most third declension adjectives with one ending simply add ''-er'' to the stem.

{| class="wikitable"
!Adjective||Adverb
|-
|{{wikt-lang|la|prudens|prūdēns, prūdēns (prūdentis)}} ('prudent')||{{wikt-lang|la|prūdenter}} ('prudently')
|-
|{{wikt-lang|la|audax|audāx, audāx (audācis)}} ('bold')||{{wikt-lang|la|audācter}} ('boldly')
|-
|{{wikt-lang|la|virilis|virīlis, virīle}} ('courageous, spirited')||{{wikt-lang|la|virīliter}} ('courageously, spiritedly')
|-
|{{wikt-lang|la|salūbris|salūbris, salūbre}} ('wholesome')||{{wikt-lang|la|salūbriter}} ('wholesomely')
|}

=== Comparative and superlative of adverbs ===
Adverbs' comparative forms are identical to the nominative neuter singular of the corresponding comparative adjective. Adverbs' superlative forms are simply formed by attaching the regular ending ''-ē'' to the corresponding superlative adjective. As with their corresponding adjectival forms, first and second declensions adjectives ending in ''-eus'' or ''-ius'' use {{wikt-lang|la|magis}} and {{wikt-lang|la|maximē}} as opposed to distinct endings.

{| class="wikitable"
!Positive||Comparative||Superlative
|-
|{{wikt-lang|la|clārē}} ('clearly, famously')||{{wikt-lang|la|clārius}}||{{wikt-lang|la|clārissimē}}
|-
|{{wikt-lang|la|solidē}} ('completely, firmly')||{{wikt-lang|la|solidius}}||{{wikt-lang|la|solidissimē}}
|-
|{{wikt-lang|la|idōneē}} ('suitably, properly')||''magis idōneē''||''maximē idōneē''
|-
|{{wikt-lang|la|prudenter}} ('prudently')||{{wikt-lang|la|prudentius}}||{{wikt-lang|la|prudentissimē}}
|-
|{{wikt-lang|la|salūbriter}} ('wholesomely')||{{wikt-lang|la|salūbrius}}||{{wikt-lang|la|salūbrissimē}}
|}

=== Irregular adverbs and their comparative and superlative forms ===
As with adjectives, there are irregular adverbs with peculiar comparative and superlative forms.
