Line 726:

Not counting the plural, most Ăn Yidiș adjectives have two principal parts:

# The predicative form. The masculine nominative singular is identical to the predicative, and the plural is usually formed from the base form.

# The feminine definite accusative singular is usually formed with ''-ă'' or palatalization + ''-ă'' for adjectives whose stems end in consonants, and -yă for stems ending in a vowel (lua 'fast' → luayă). In most cases, the comparative is formally identical to it.

# The feminine definite accusative singular is usually formed with ''-ă'' or palatalization + ''-ă'' for adjectives whose stems end in consonants, and -yă for stems ending in a vowel (lua 'fast' → luayă). In most cases, the comparative is formally identical to it. Adjectives of Hebrew and Aramaic origin don't palatalize: מיאוס, נאס-מיאוסא ''mies'' 'bad' -> miesă''.

# Irregular adjectives may have a comparative distinct from the feminine definite accusative singular: for example ''beg'' 'small' with feminine def. acc. sg. ''biģă'' and comparative ''łü''.
