 Possessives can have either '-en' or '-et' suffixed on to them, depending on the gender of the noun they possess.
+====Adjectives====
+Adjectives come in their root form, and are inflected for gender, with the same two endings used for making nouns definite, '-en', and '-et'.  An adjective does not, however, have to be inflected if it comes <i>after</i> the noun it describes.
+Here are some examples:
+*En strungen mann - A strong man
+*Et lillet hus - A little house (Can also be formed through the diminutive)
+*Den er en smuken flyge - That is a pretty girl
+*Den flyge er <i>smuk</i> - That girl is pretty
+====Comparative=====
+The comparative form of adjectives is formed by adding '-ere' to the adjective itself.  The word 'ennd' precedes the noun being compared.
+For example:
+*Den mann er strungere ennd den flyga -  The man is stronger than that girl.
+If something is being compared on the same level, 'somm' is used before and after the adjective.
+*Den mann er somm strung somm den flyga - The man is as strong as the girl.
+IF something is being compared as less than something, 'minntre' is used before the adjective, and 'somm' is used before the other noun.
+*Den mann er minntre strung somm den flyga - The man is weaker than the woman.  (This can also be formed with the adjective weak, or by using 'ikke' before 'minntre', making 'not as strong')
