Adjectives and pronouns

Adjectives closely resemble the noun form, usually showing the same exceptions of nouns, but differing in their last vowel. Pronouns, instead, may exhibit different forms in the root form.

Adjectives

Attributive adjectives are always placed before the nouns they specify, while predicative adjectives are always placed after them or before the verb.

sẽh ǧɛ̃h
the young man

ǧɛ̃h sẽh imo
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.

nubih tõh sẽβ ǧɛ̃β gɛ šɔʔ tõča foro
the young man’s new house is located in the nearby village
