My current mastery of this grammar:
An adverbial noun is a noun used to modify a verb directly. Approximately 700 Japanese nouns can be used in this way.
In the following example,
ぜんぶ
全部
is being used adverbially to modify よ
読
めます:わたし
私
はひらがなをぜんぶ
全部
よ
読
めますI can read all the hiragana
No particle is needed to use the noun adverbially in this way.
The following example means the same thing, but in this case 全部 is used as a 'の' adjective to modify the noun ひらがな:
わたし
私
はぜんぶ
全部
のひらがながよ
読
めますI can read all the hiragana
