Brytho-Hellenic: Difference between revisions

Elynik adjectives always follow the noun(s) they are referred to: when the noun is undetermined they simply follow it, but, when the noun is determined, then the definite article, '''to''', is put between the noun and the adjective.

Some adjectives:

====Superlative====

The superlative degree is generally formed with the word '''plyd''', that precedes the adjective to which is referred. The relative superlative is the same form of the absolute superlative, but it takes the definite article and is generally followed by a limitation, that is expressed with '''en''' (= "in") / '''evan''' (= "of"), ex.:

In the written language it is also used the old superlative with the suffix '''-yd''':
