Adjectives became a separate morphological part of speech from nouns under Irish influence. Adjectives never agree in definiteness, like in Irish but unlike in Arabic.
Adjectives became a separate morphological part of speech from nouns under Irish influence. Adjectives agree in definiteness, like in Arabic but unlike in Irish.


Most native non-nisba adjectives have the same declension: m. sg. -0, f. sg. ''-a/e'', pl. ''-a/e''. Nisba adjectives decline as ''-ì, -ìje, -ìje'' (-i -ī́jə -ī́jə). All adjectives have an ''-a/-e'' plural; this comes from Arabic broken plurals taking feminine singular agreement, and spread to all plural adjectives under the influence of Irish plural ''-a/-e'' for adjectives.
