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 weħüg the young man’s new house is located in the nearby village
Declension of qualifying adjectives
Adjectival declension follow the same rules as the nominal declension, with the same exceptions.
Adjectives are declined for number by changing the last vowel of the noun root. The general vowel changes are:
Other vowels usually display the same changes as the nominal declension, or they are deemed as irregular and thus shown in the vocabulary.
TAll 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.
Examples: symi, young, and nuβi, new, with a class I noun, rome, father, and a class II noun, döme, house.
