Do all the い-adjectives become adverbs when you add く to them?


Do all い-adjectives become adverbs when you add く to them? For example:

[code]

    新しい　=　新しく
    早い　　=　早く
    
[/code]

But does this work with all the い-adjectives?




Yes, the conjugation rule is consistent with all the い-adjectives.

There are a few notable exceptional cases where they can also syntactically be
nouns:

  * 近い→近く:

    * adjectival: 近くのX - the nearby X

    * noun: Xの近く - the vicinity of X

  * 多い→多く:

    * adjectival: 多くのX
