Adjectives

Adjectives are placed before the nouns they modify:

prikól – big, large

gélta – hungry

gélta trus – a hungry boy

plóstar – hairy

plóstar niskaz – a hairy dog

klésk – dead

klésk prul – a dead cat

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

kléskris – somewhat dead

There is a definite form of the adjective:

kléskna prul – the dead cat

plóstarna niskaz – the hairy dog.

plóstarrisna niskaz – the somewhat 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.
