===Adjectives=== | ===Adjectives=== | ||
Adjectives, with the exception of numerals, almost exclusively follow the nouns the modify. Though that is slightly out of character for a language that is otherwise strong head-final, this is at least in part due to the language’s verb-final and optional null-copula status, as adjectives in many circumstances may be seen simply as verbs. | |||
Nearly all adjectives can receive the suffix '''''–[[Contionary: ei#Modern Standard Imperial|ei]]''''' ‘to be’ in order to convert them into a verb; however, this copulative ending is usually optional. If no copula is indicated, the adjective may precede the subject if they make up the entirety of the sentence. E.g.: | |||
* ‘I am cold.’ | |||
** '''''[[Contionary: amedi#Modern Standard Imperial|Amedi]] [[Contionary: meu#Modern Standard Imperial|meu]].''''' | |||
** '''''[[Contionary: amedi#Modern Standard Imperial|Amedi]] [[Contionary: meu#Modern Standard Imperial|meu]] [[Contionary: ei#Modern Standard Imperial|ei]].''''' | |||
** '''''[[Contionary: meu#Modern Standard Imperial|Meu]] [[Contionary: amedei#Modern Standard Imperial|amedei]].''''' | |||
* ‘The mountain is green.’ | |||
** '''''[[Contionary: lhadzhè#Modern Standard Imperial|Lhadzhè]] [[Contionary: merri#Modern Standard Imperial|merri]].''''' | |||
** '''''[[Contionary: merri#Modern Standard Imperial|Merri]] [[Contionary: lhadzhè#Modern Standard Imperial|lhadzh]]’[[Contionary: ei#Modern Standard Imperial|ei]].''''' | |||
** '''''[[Contionary: lhadzhè#Modern Standard Imperial|Lhadhzè]] [[Contionary: merrei#Modern Standard Imperial|merrei]].''''' | |||
