237. Adverbs which have the same form as the neuter (or in Norwegian in some cases the common) gender of the adjectives are susceptible of comparison:
| snart | soon | snarere | snarest | |
| höit | highly | höiere | höiest | (or höist) |
Ex. jeg sidder höiest oppe i Træet I am highest up in the tree; jeg er höist ulykkelig I am most unhappy.
Also some ending in –e:
| længe long (time) | længere or længer | længst | |
| (also: | langt | længere or længer | længest) |
| ofte often far | oftere | oftest |
The following adverbs have a different stem in comparative and superlative from that of the positive;
| vel | well | bedre | bedst |
| ilde | badly | værre | værst |
| gjerne | willingly | hellere or heller rather | helst |
Jeg vil heller danse end synge I will rather dance than than sing (but it is rather a large house–det er et temmelig stort Hus.)
238. The adverbs are generally by grammarians divided according to their use in the sentence into demonstrative, relative, interrogative and indefinite, or according to their signification into adverbs of time, place, mode, degree etc. We shall here only mention some peculiarities in the formation and use of some adverbs:
| bort away (to a place) | borte away (in a place) |
| derhen thither | derhenne there |
| hvorhen whither | hvorhenne where |
| frem forth | fremme in front |
| ind in (to a place) | inde in (in a place). |
