gélta trus – a hungry boy

plóstar – hairy

The suffix -ris may be added to adjectives, rendering the meaning "somewhat...", "a little...", etc:

There is a definite form of the adjective:

kléskna prul – the dead cat

plóstarna niskaz – the hairy dog.

Note that there is no definite article or similar that goes together with the noun, apart from the definite form of the adjectives.
