====Adjectives==== | |||
All nouns in Tumachee have their own adjective form, which is usually manifested in an agglutinate suffix form like ''-miḩ''. Each noun has their own unique adjective/suffix form, meaning you could make basically any word by agglutinating a noun and a noun-derived prefix. For example, the word and name "Ox-like-the-water" would be ''Kîkwisvigûn''(''lit.'' ox.<small>NOM</small>-water.<small>ADJ</small>). | |||

===Agglutination=== | |||
Like in German, Tumachee has the ability of creating new words by adding existing words together. For example, the word "pill" is ''sikkumiḩ'', which is a combination of ''sikku'', "medicine" and ''-miḩ'', the suffix form of "small". | |||
====Stem & suffixes==== | |||
Words in Tumachee have two forms: a stem and a suffix form. The stem form are the standalone words themselves, sometimes called the nominative declension. The suffix forms are used for agglutinate words like the ''-miḩ'' in ''sikkumiḩ''. ''-miḩ'' is a prefix form of the adjective ''wêlmiḩ'', meaning "small". | |||
