Adjectives are also inflected for three genders instead of two:


*''Din sp'dd'''e''' hustir [dɪn spɛð hʉs'ti:(ɹ)]'' - the excited pet (While ''hus'' is neuter, the gender of a compound word is always taken from the final noun in the compound.  In this case, ''tir(in)'' is masculine.  ''Din'' is the masculine definite article, and is not to be confused with the SA ''din'', which is the second person possessive pronoun.  It's counterparts in EA are dine, dijn, and ditt)
*''Dij smuk'''jijn''' fluk' [di: smʉk'ji:(jn) flʉkɛ]'' - the pretty girl
*''Det reddt hus [de: ɹe:ðd hʉs]'' - the red house
