''Attributive'' adjectives precede the noun they describe. This is the exactly the same in dal'qörian: | |||
* '''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 dal'qörian: | |||
* '''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''. | |||

Attributive adjectives precede the noun they describe. This is the exactly the same in dal'qörian:
- 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 dal'qörian:
- 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.
