| | #REDIRECT [[Triparic Grammar#Adjectives]] |
| | |
| Adjectives agree with their nouns in number. The plural of adjectives is formed with '''-(e)s''' exactly as for nouns.
| |
| | |
| '''duväd miaŏ''' "black cat"<br>
| |
| '''duväds miaŏs''' "black cats"
| |
| | |
| == Word Order ==
| |
| | |
| Adjectives usually precede the nouns they modify:
| |
| | |
| '''gute morgen''' "good morning"<br>
| |
| '''alta rol''' "high office"
| |
| | |
| But they may be placed afterwards poetically, so long as ambiguities are not created thereby.
| |
| | |
| '''tempos conects''' "contiguous times"
| |
| | |
| == Comparison ==
| |
| | |
| Most adjectives form their comparatives and superlatives with the adverbs '''ply''' "more" and '''plä''' "most":
| |
| | |
| '''ply alta''' "higher"<br>
| |
| '''plä lange''' "longest"
| |
| | |
| == Irregular Comparison ==
| |
| | |
| Some adjectives have irregular comparative and superlative forms.
