Adjectives and pronouns
Adjectives closely resemble the noun form, usually showing the same exceptions of nouns, but differing in their thematic vowel. 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.
ek‘ żen s‘em‘ the young man
ek‘ żen imo s‘em‘ 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.
ek‘ towm nyb‘ evo żenevo s‘em‘ivo jeso ða towmšævo xxxx 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.
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.
Examples: s‘em‘, young, and nyb‘, new, with two nouns, om, father, and towm, house.
