ADJ: adjective
Definition
Adjectives are words that typically modify nouns and specify their properties or attributes.
In Naga-Suansu, most adjectives are derived from verbs.
They follow nouns, for example Peter za tra mohn mule (“Peter likes hot tea”) and they can be used predicatively, where they behave like verbs, carrying tense and aspect values (za trale, “the tea is hot”). When adjectives modify nouns, they take Case and Number markers as these occur at the end of the NP.
Proper adjectives, such as American, are tagged as ADJ rather than PROPN.
Examples
-
tra “hot”
-
katha “new”
-
gaszu “beautiful”
