====Usage==== | |||
Adjectives can be used in the following ways: | |||
#'''Attributive:''' In this case, the adjective generally precedes its noun. Alternatively, it may follow the noun. | |||
#*If the adjective follows the noun it modifies, the definite article (if applicable) is repeated before the adjective. | |||
#'''Predicative:''' Used as a predicate. | |||
#'''Substantive:''' Used on its own without a noun, generally with a definite article. | |||
<!--Note: I am considering to make the definite article, and maybe also adjectives, follow the nouns they govern. I actually have some justification for this now, both by extension/analogy from Ancient Greek usage (e.g. βασιλεὺς ὁ κακός) and by the fact that I allowed the definite article to act as a pronoun (meaning that, at least originally, substantive adjectives would make more sense to precede it rather than follow it) --> | |||
