 == Adjectives ==
+Adjectives all end with a vowel.
+Unlike nouns and verbs, adjectives do not change depending on their use in a sentence. They always follow the
+noun they modify.
+===Degree compounds===
+Brooding has a unique 'degree' system for adjectives. Adjectives can be compounded with degree words or
+numbers to indicate variations in meaning. The degree words are:
+''stai'' - very<br />
+''thle'' - even<br />
+''yuhnee'' - very not
+Let's start with the word for 'happy': ''taefuh''
+"Very happy" would be ''staitaefuh''. "Very unhappy" would be ''yuhneetaefuh''. However, by adding numbers (1 - 4
+and negative 1 - 4) different degrees are available. When adding the number, the last consonant of the number
+is dropped.
+Positive numbers are positive degrees and negative numbers are negative degrees. There isn't an exact
+translation of each degree - the numbers are often used idiosyncratically by people based off of their opinion
+and in context.
+''draugetaefuh'' - amazingly happy, ecstatic (4-happy)<br />
+''shlautaefuh'' - delighted, very happy (3-happy)<br />
+''raitaefuh'' - moderately happy (2-happy)<br />
+''mauwetaefuh'' - a little unhappy (-1-happy)<br />
+''maudraugetaefuh'' - completely in despair (-4-happy)<br />
+====Degree-specific adjectives====
+There are some adjectives which can't be used on their own, but must be used with degree words as above.
+These usually refer to things that are often continuums, like temperate, light levels, etc.
+For example, the adjective for temperature is ''she''.
+''staishe'' - hot<br />
+''thleshe'' - room-temperature<br />
+''yuhneeshe'' - cold<br />
+Numbers are used as well:
+''maugraugeshe'' - freezing cold<br />
+''draugeshe'' - boiling hot<br />
+''mauweshe'' - chilly<br />
+''weshe'' - warm<br />
