Adjectives and pronouns

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

Adjectives

Both attributive and predicative adjectives are always placed after the nouns they specify, with a few exceptions. 

æl‘ vjirul‘ jowɸæl‘
the young man

æl‘ vjirul‘ ojh jowɸæl‘
the man is young

All adjectives agree in case and number with the noun they specify, being declined with the nominal endings. However, in modern speech, attributive adjectives tend not to agree in number with their nouns, displaying only the singular declension. This trait is not accepted in the standard formal language.

Declension of qualifying adjectives

Adjectival declension follow the same rules as the nominal declension in the formal language, with the same exceptions.

Example: sur‘il‘, big, with sowgul‘, house
