Is there a negative form for adverbs?


So if you want to say you walk quickly you say 早く歩く. Great.

Now, suppose you want to say you walk _un_ quickly. Could you potentially say
something like 早くなく歩く?

The obvious answer is you simply say you walk slowly, but someone I tutor
asked me what the negative form of an adverb is and I was caught of guard.
I've looked around and didn't find anything so I assume it's just not a
concept in Japanese but I wanted to make sure I gave them the correct
information.




As you noticed, in this case, we rarely say 早くなく歩く but ゆっくり歩く. I think we
usually don't use the negative form of an adverb but an adverb that has a
opposite meaning. Though a few people may say this way.
