`ADJ`: adjective

Definition

Adjectives are words that typically modify nouns and specify their properties or attributes. Adjectives in Danish normally agree in gender and number with the noun they modify (both in attributive and predicative position), e.g. en stor forskel “a big difference” (common singular), et stort problem “a big problem” (neuter singual) and store dele “big parts” (plural).

Danish adjectives have positive/comparative/superlative degree, e.g. hurtig/hurtigere/hurtigst (fast/faster/fastest).

Examples

gammel/gammelt/gamle “old”
grøn/grønt/grønne “green”
ufatlig/ufatligt/ufatlige “incomprehensible”
