You can easily convert most Chinese [https://resources.allsetlearning.com/chinese/grammar/Adjective adjectives] into adverbs with the particle [https://resources.allsetlearning.com/chinese/grammar/%E5%9C%B0 地] (de). This usage is very similar to the [https://resources.allsetlearning.com/chinese/grammar/Suffixes suffix] ''-ly'' in English.
