+Adverbs (words that describe a verb) appear immediately before a verb. There are four types of adverbs in Lahu \cite{PL:1986} as follows.
+\subsection*{Negative adverbs}
+We have seen these in \ref{sec:negation} but here are a few more examples:
+\begin{examples}
+\item
+	\gll maˇ te
+	not do
+	\gln
+	\glend
+\item
+	\gll taˇ te
+	don't do
+	\gln
+	\glend
+\end{examples}
+
+\subsection*{Positive adverbs}
+These have a positive sense. Some examples:
+\begin{examples}
+\item
+	\gll {g'aˇ hte} te
+	{with all strength} do
+	\gln
+	\glend
+\item
+	\gll {g'aˇ hte} feu kuˬ ve
+	{with all strength} intensely call
+	\gln
+	\glend
+\item
+	\gll haˆ te
+	quickly do
+	\gln
+	\glend
+\end{examples}
+
+\subsection*{\emph{hk'a} adverbs}
+The word `hk'a' means \emph{all} but can be combined with other verbs to create adverbial expressions such as the following.
+\begin{examples}
+\item
+	\gll hk'a biˇ keu ve
+	{} fully {to fill}
+	\glt `to fill fully'
+	\glend
+\item
+	\gll hk'a bvuhˆ caˇ ve
+	{} {to be full} eat
+	\glt `to eat to the full'
+	\glend
+\item
+	\gll hk'a law caˉ ve
+	{} sufficient {to cook}
+	\glt `to cook sufficiently'
+	\glend
+\end{examples}
+
+\subsection*{\emph{-eh} adverbs}
+The syllable `-eh' could be called an adverbalising particle as it can be added to the end of words to make them an adverb.
+\begin{examples}
+\item
+	\gll nawˉ
+	green
+	\gln
+	\glend
+	\gll nawˉ-eh
+	greenish
+	\gln
+	\glend
+\item
+	\gll {ba ve}
+	{to be bright}
+	\gln
+	\glend
+	\gll ba-eh
+	brightly
+	\gln
+	\glend
+\end{examples}
