Dal'qörian Attributive and Predicative adjectives

Homepage

back to Dalcurian adjectives

Attributive adjectives precede the noun they describe:

• 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 Dalcurian:

• 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.
