Adjectives
Attributive adjectives are always placed before the nouns they specify, while predicative adjectives are always placed after them.
muk tɬʼīx (the) young man
tɬʼīx muk sūɣ (the) man is young
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.
mukət tɬʼīxuɟ žur tɬʼūβəg βəʂðət tɬʼūβuriʈ ʈīɣ the young man’s new house is located in the nearby village
Declension of qualifying adjectives
Adjectives are declined in case according to a declension system which is only partially similar to the nominal one, display a smaller set of endings in the oblique cases.
Both attributive and predicative adjectives are declined by adding the following endings to the base form of the noun:
class |
class | |
| - | - | |
| -ɴ / əɴ | -ɴ | |
| -t / ət | -t | |
| -t / ət | -t | |
| -t / ət | -t |
Adjectives are declined in number by following the same rules as the nouns. As it can be noticed, the endings in the oblique case are always the same, displaying the only ending -t. Distinction among oblique case is made by the noun alone.
Example: attributive adjective xrām, big, and the noun tɬūβ, house.
| xrām tɬūβ | xrāma tɬūβu | |
| xrāmɴ tɬūβɴ | xrāmaɴ tɬūβuɴ | |
| xrāmt tɬūβuɟ | xrāmat tɬūβuɟ | |
| xrāmt tɬūβiq | xrāmat tɬūβuq | |
| xrāmt tɬūβaʈ | xrāmat tɬūβuʈ | |
