Ukrainian дієприслівник

Дієприслівник (or in transliteration “diyepryslivnyk”) is
the peculiar Ukrainian verbid combining the features of the verb
and the adverb. It points towards some additional action and
explains the main one, expressed by the finite verb (Він ішов собі,
похнюпившись, тихо відміряючи крок за кроком). Thus it is
characterized by the following features:
1) its lexico-grammatical meaning of the “character or
quality of some action”;
2) its typical stem-building elements depend upon the type
of diyepryslivnyk;
3) diyepryslivnyk is the indeclinable word similar to
adverb. It has common with the verb grammatical categories of
tense, aspect and state.
