ADJ: adjective
Definition
Adjectives are words that typically modify nouns and specify their properties or attributes. They may also function as predicates, as in
O carro é verde. “The car is green.”
Adjectives in Portuguese agree in number and gender with the noun they modify, e.g. a casa amarela (femenine singular), as casas amarelas (femenine plural).
To conform to the UD guidelines, possessive adjectives are handled as determiners DET.
Examples
- grande “big”
- velho “old”
- verde “green”
- incompreensível “incomprehensible”
- primeiro “first”, segundo “second”, terceiro “third”
