Explanation
Take the feminine singular and add -mente; original written accents survive: difícilmente, últimamente. Two-form adjectives just add it: probablemente.
Coordinated adverbs drop -mente except on the last: habló clara y directamente. Spoken Spanish often prefers con + noun or de manera + adjective: con cuidado, de manera eficiente.
