בְּאֹפֶן מַפְתִּיעַ

You may know the Hebrew word for a surprise – הפתעה

.

For example:

עשינו לו מסיבת הפתעה.

We made him a surprise party.

 הפתעה comes from the active-causative הפעיל verb להפתיע

 – to surprise, so that surprising is מפתיע
.

One way to add the equivalent of -ly to Hebrew words is to add the word באופן

– literally, in a manner. Thus, באופן מפתיע
is in a surprising manner – or surprisingly.

For example:

באופן מפתיע, יש ילדים שלא אוהבים משחקי ילדים.

Surprisingly, there are children who don’t like children’s games.
