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

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

wobar řirur
(the) young man
řirur wobar wẽh
(the) man is young

All adjectives agree in case and number with the noun they specify, being declined with the nominal endings.

jōbāɕu līruɕu rēw sōnu pinkucar sōnošucar mējseš
the young man’s new house is located in the nearby village

Declension of qualifying adjectives

Example: jōbā, young

jōbāxu jōbāxuj jōbāxunu
instrumental
jōbāxe jōbāxej jōbāxenu
