Adjectival roots have the same structure as the nominal roots, namely '''''CVCV'''''. Attributive adjectives are always placed '''before''' the nouns they specify, while predicative adjectives are always placed ''after'' them.  
Attributive adjectives are always placed '''before''' the nouns they specify, while predicative adjectives are always placed ''after'' them.


The agreement of adjectives in case and number with the noun they specify is not clear. This feature seems to have spread in the proto-language before the diasporic period, but unsystematically, since some adjectival types do not agree with the nouns even in the later period.
muk tɬʼīx
<small>(the) young man</small>


Adjectives can be morphologically derived from nominal roots by adding the morpheme '''-ko'''.
tɬʼīx muk sūɣ
<small>(the) man is young</small>
 
All adjectives agree in case and number with the noun they specify, being declined with endings, which are only partially similar to the nominal declension endings.

<small>the young man’s new house is located in the nearby village</small>
