Adjectives and pronouns

Adjectives closely resemble the noun form, mostly ending in a vowel and showing the same exceptions of nouns. Pronouns may exhibit different forms in the root form, while similarly ending in a vowel.

Adjectives

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

kiibe tterni
a young man

tterni kiibe
the man is young

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

In number agreement, adjectives select the plural ending according to the semantical distinction between animate and inanimate of the nouns they specify. In some texts, conversely, adjectives firmly select the inanimate endings, even when specifying an animate noun.

kiibeže tterniže
the young men

kiibehii tterniže
the young men
