Adjectives (unverified)

Adjectives usually precede the nouns they modify, but are rarely placed afterwards, for effect:

gute morgen "good morning"
alta rol "high office"
but tempos conects "contiguous times"

Most adjectives form their comparatives and superlatives with the adverbs ply "more" and plä "most":

ply alta "higher" plä lange "longest"

Adjectives agree with their nouns in number:

tempos conects "contiguous times" duväds miăs "black cats"

Note that some adjectives are plural only:

alle mensches "all men"

Some adjectives have irregular comparative and superlative forms:

gute, besser, ...

... but should they??
