BASIC/ROOT ADJECTIVES

Basic adjectives consist of two/three letters as CV/x and VCV/x, yielding about 500, but doubling by using of “x” at the ends giving an adverse meaning such as “ebi” for beautiful and “ebix” for ugly. Adjectives have also been separated in classes. Two letter adjectives “CV*” with the titles: “interrogative, demonstrative, indefinite (quantifier), indefinite numerical, main colours, placing and possessive" where C indicates the group and “a” to “ü” varying vowels denoting the adjectives.

Three letters are separated in to two main groups as “DESCRIPTIVE-QUALIFYING (DQ)” and “DESCRIPTIVE–PEOPLE (DP)” (personality and behaviour mainly). Each of them has been subdivided internally according to the scheme V#V (eC*e; eC*i; … eC*ü for the first main group and aC*a; aC*e; aC*i; … aC*ü, eC*a for the remaining). Each subtitle indicates a special type of the adjectives such as “aC*e-being”, “aC*i-behaviour” or “eC*ü-nature/science. Physical features, appearance, human attribute, opinion-view etc., each consonant representing one heading with vowels varying.

Examples for Root Adjectives:

Indefinite (Quantifier): şV* English DQ: eC*e Physical Descr. of Things DP: aC*i Person-Behaviour
şa more ebe-x sweet-bitter abi-x polite/kind/gentle-impolite/rude
şe most ece - aci-x fair-biased
şi-şix several/many/much -few/little eçe sour açi-x just-devious
şo-şox some_ - any_ ede-x hot-cold adi-x sedate-excited
şö each efe-x warm- cool afi superficial
şu-şux every_ -no_ ege-x wide-narrow agi keen/eager

DERIVED ADJECTIVES

Adjectives will be derived by adding suffixes to the verbs and nouns. As the root adjectives, also derived ones end with a vowel, typical for adjectives. Thus they will have six to eight letters.

Deverbal Adjectives

They will be derived by the suffixes “_ado/_adox” (in place of the English suffixes "_ful, _less, _ant/-ent, _ive, _ile, _ic, _ate, _y/ly,_ic, _ous, etc.), "_ako" (for capability "_able/_ible"), “_amo” (for past participle _ed) and “_ana” (for present participle _ing).

Examples for Deverbal Adjectives:

_ado-adox _ful-less (_azo)ado _ant/-ent _ako _able, _ible _amo p.p _ed/irregular
bip.ado-x hope.ful-less tüm.ado relaxant kir.ako breakable dul.amo boiled
yaz.ado-x use.ful-less sik.ado pleasant moy.ako admirable mad.amo known
rol.ado-x harm.ful-less feh.ado dominant höç.akox incredible bür.amo worried

Denominal Adjectives

Denominal adjectives will be derived by the suffixes “_do/_dox” (in place of the English affixes "_ful, _less, _ive, _ulent, _ile, _holic, _ic, _ate, _y/ly,_ic, _ous, un_, im_...etc.) and "_ko" (for capability "_able/_ible")

Examples

_do _ful, _ous _dox -less, in-, ir- _ko _able,_ible
pasba.do peaceful pasba.dox hope.less pösvi.ko fashionable
sinte.do handful camya.dox timeless pisbe.ko taxable
pössi.do-x merciful-cruel hanya.dox homeless menyö.ko sociable

With these 8 suffixes (ado, adox, ako, amo, ano, do, dox, ko) it is possible to get unnumbered new adjectives from verbs and nouns additionally to 520 root adjectives.
