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 kuh‘ivo
the young man’s new house is located in the nearby village

Declension of qualifying adjectives
