Use of adverbs ending in "-mind"

Discussing adverbs is not something new, given that this subject is part of one of the ten grammatical classes we use daily. Specifically, we will refer here to those adverbs demarcated by the ending “-mind”, applicable to the circumstances in which they express mood.

In this way, they are linked to specific rules of use, depending on the intention given by the discourse and, above all, depending on discursive aesthetic issues, in order to avoid possible repetitions.

In this sense, let's make sure of some rules, in order to expand our linguistic competence and make correct use of one more occurrence that demarcates the linguistic facts:

* By means of a linguistic utterance, in which two or more adverbs ending in "-mente" modify the same word, there is a resource o which aims to make the speech more elegant, clear and concise, demarcated by the procedure of adding the suffix "mind" only to the last their. So we can see through the example that follows:

politely and lovingly received all the guests who arrived there.

* In case there is the intention to highlight the circumstances expressed by the adverbs, it is necessary to omit the conjunction and add the aforementioned suffix to each one of them. This is what we can attest to in statements like the one presented below:

Dynamically, professionally, she performed the functions assigned to her day by day.
