One half is rendered in Rromani as jekh paś (or dopaś – without article). Other fractional numbers are constructed with the suffix -rro added to the numeral of order in -to, giving the ending -torro – which is treated as an inherited masculine noun ending in stressed -o (see padmad 12):

Rromani has also multiplicative numbers, expressing the number of times, while the order of times is expressed by the B-ćham of the numeral of order followed by varǎqe (rendering for the first time, for the second time, for the third time etc.):

As other languages, Rromani has a series of words, called adverbs, which express the way an action is carried out. Some adverbs are coined on inherited adjectives by means of the ending -es, while others are recent loans corresponding to adjectives ending in unstressed -o (with B-ćham in -one, stress on -e, for both genders, sing. and plural); these adverbs are formed by dropping this ending.
