ADJ: adjective

Definition

Adjectives are words that typically modify nouns and specify their properties or attributes. They may also function as predicates as in Suvi on soe ‘The summer is warm’.
Also pro-adjectives, e.g. selline ‘such’, niisugune ‘such’ , missugune ‘which’ etc and attributive ordinal numerals like esimene ‘first’, teine ‘second’ etc are labelled ADJ according to Estonian UD annotation.
Attributive or predicative participles, e.g. valvav mees ‘guarding man’, valvatav mees ‘man who is guarded’ möödunud nädal ‘last week’, lõhutud vaas ‘broken vase’ also get the ADJ label.
