''Attributive'' adjectives precede the noun they describe: | |||
* '''EÞöa ''sangtörädn'' esteplédrämösel'''. ''Some '''controlled''' explosions'' | |||
* '''Di ''qurnöra'' angaráj'''. ''The '''happy''' child.'' | |||

''Predicative'' adjectives occur 'after' the noun but not immediately; they follow a verb, (normally a form of the verb to ''be''). Again, this the same in Dalcurian: | |||
* '''Di arangáj ''tirigör qurnöra''.''' ''The child '''seems happy''''' | |||
* '''Di iádel ''vädenária te’vélø''.''' ''The days '''are getting colder'''''. | |||

Attributive adjectives precede the noun they describe:
- EÞöa sangtörädn esteplédrämösel. Some controlled explosions
- Di qurnöra angaráj. The happy child.
- Di ädøni sájel. The old men.
- Ni qalba fléj. The black fly.
Predicative adjectives occur 'after' the noun but not immediately; they follow a verb, (normally a form of the verb to be). Again, this the same in Dalcurian:
- Di arangáj tirigör qurnöra. The child seems happy
- Di iádel vädenária te’vélø. The days are getting colder.
However, the adjective must still follow the verb when in conjunction with prepositional word order:
- Di iádel, dörac Vinti, vädenária te’vélø. The days are getting colder through the winter.
