Adjectives and pronouns
Adjectives closely resemble the noun form, while usually 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.
symi hene (the) young man
hene symi imüg (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.
symiħ heneħ nuβi döme ta čoʂima dömšäma weħü the young man’s new house is located in the nearby village
