ADJ: adjective

Definition

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