Adverb / -ly Word Detector

आपल्या मजकुरातील -ly क्रियाविशेषण (इंग्रजी) शोधते आणि क्रियाविशेषण दर मोजते.

मराठी साठी डिझाइन केलेले नाही

हे साधन इंग्रजीसाठी (आणि काही संबंधित भाषांसाठी) कॅलिब्रेट केले आहे. मराठी मधील निकाल अर्थपूर्ण नसण्याची शक्यता आहे.

कधी वापरायचे

Use the adverb detector when editing fiction, marketing copy, or any writing where pace and vividness matter. Hemingway-style guidance targets adverb rates under 4%; tight ad copy often goes below 2%.

तुलना

Adverb detection is a stylistic metric, like passive voice — it surfaces patterns rather than scoring difficulty. Use alongside the Filler-Word Detector for a fuller weak-prose audit.

हे कसे कार्य करते

The detector flags every -ly word in the text, excluding a stoplist of -ly words that aren't adverbs (family, lovely, jelly, etc.).

Adverb rate is the percentage of words that are adverbs. Hemingway-style writing keeps the rate below 4%; tight ad copy often stays under 2%.

Strict mode adds a check that the word has an adjective stem — fewer false positives but may miss neologisms.

वारंवार विचारले जाणारे प्रश्न

Why are adverbs considered weak writing?

Stephen King's rule: "The road to hell is paved with adverbs." They're a sign you chose a weak verb that needed propping up. "Ran quickly" → "sprinted".

What about non-adverb -ly words?

Family, lovely, jelly, etc. — these are excluded from the count. Enable strict mode for tighter detection at the risk of missing neologisms.

What's a good adverb rate?

Under 4% for tight prose. Under 2% for ad copy. Some genres (literary fiction) tolerate higher rates by design.

व्यावहारिक उदाहरण

इनपुट

"She quickly opened the door and softly whispered her name."

आउटपुट

2 adverbs in 9 words (22% adverb rate) — heavy.

"Quickly" and "softly" both weaken stronger verb choices. "She flung the door open and whispered her name" reads tighter and more vivid.

सामान्य चुका

  • Many -ly words aren't adverbs (family, lovely, jelly) — strict mode helps but isn't foolproof.
  • Some adverbs are essential ("quickly noted", "rapidly evolving") — don't cut them mechanically.
  • Manner adverbs paired with weak verbs are the prime targets; sentence adverbs ("however", "additionally") often stay.
  • Dialogue tags ("she whispered softly") are common offenders — "she whispered" usually suffices.
