What is the difference between krom and krome?

Question

Both words are grammatically adverbs. I see them quite often but still can not understand which one is more suitable to use.

What exactly is the difference? Can you also create the usage example for both of them in a proper context?

Answer 1

krom is not an adverb but a preposition. It cannot stand alone, but only in front of a noun phrase. You can turn krom into the adverb krome.

Ni vidis nenion krom grizaj nuboj.

Ni vidis multajn belajn konstruaĵojn kaj krome ni bone manĝis.

You can also turn krom into the adjective kroma.

Estas bone havi kroman ŝargilon.
