In many languages there is no direct translation, as the idea expressed by the English ''adverb'' is expressed by a ''prefix'' in many languages. German is somewhat half way in-between as it uses a ''prefix'' in the infinitive of its verbs, but often, though not always, separates the prefix into the same form as the English ''adverb'' when conjugating them.

* Dutch: usually expressed by the prefix [[uit-]]
* Esperanto: usually expressed by the prefix [[el-]] and/or preposition [[el]] (1), [[ekstere]] (2)
* Finnish: [[ablative case]] (-lta, -ltä) or [[elative case]] (-sta, -stä)
* German: usually expressed by the prefix [[aus-]]
* Hungarian: usually expressed by the prefix [[ki-]]
* Latin: usually expressed by the prefix [[ex-]]
* Russian: {{t+|ru|вы-}}
* Slovak: usually expressed by the prefix [[vy-]] or sometimes [[z-]]
* Swedish: sometimes expressed by the prefix {{t|sv|ut-}}. In some cases considered somewhat formal.
