back to dalq'örian adjectives

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.
