Grammar - Adjectives and adverbs
Adjective
The rules of using adjectives are the simplest.
They are placed before defined nouns. If the noun begins with a movable consonant, it becomes voiced.
gheáse big
itrécko small
vinrá [fin'ra] tree
gheáse-vinrà [ghe'ashre vin'ra] big tree
If there are several defining adjectives, they are placed one after another, consistent with the phonetic rules of movable/immovable consonants.
Adverb
The rules of using adverbs are the same: it is placed before the defined verb. If the verb begins with a movable consonant, it becomes voiced. The adverbs are the same as their common root adjectives.
uáne loud, loudly
sukáme [shru'game] always, ever
ki [ki] to do
sukáme-kìlhuta [shru'game'gihluta] we always do
Comparative and superlative
The comparative form of both adjectives and adverbs is formed with the particle -àn
uáne-àn louder
itrécko-àn smaller
The superlative form is built with -là
uáne-là the loudest
itrécko-là the smallest
