Adjectives and pronouns

Adjectives closely resemble the noun form, mostly ending in a vowel and showing the same exceptions of nouns. Pronouns, instead, may exhibit different forms in the root form.

Adjectives

Attributive adjectives are always placed before the nouns they specify, while predicative adjectives tend to be placed before the secondary verbal position. 

čōbāliw wīruliw hiwmēx soguxjɛ
the young man is going home

wīru çɛn čōbā
the man is young

All adjectives agree in case and number with the noun they specify, being declined with the nominal endings. They thus display a complete declension set, not belonging inherently to one of the two classes. 

çōbārɛ wīrurɛ rēhu sōgu mēhiws hūm biwgu bjɛčiw
the young man’s new house is located in the nearby village
