The genitive is the only real non-nominative case in usage in the official version of the Undernederlandsk language, but can be rendered differently in certain dialects, most specifically the [[Ænsksk]] and [[Berlinsk]] dialects. | The genitive is the only real non-nominative case in usage in the official version of the Undernederlandsk language, but can be rendered differently in certain dialects, most specifically the [[Ænsksk]] and [[Berlinsk]] dialects. | ||
===Adjectives=== | |||
Undernederlandsk adjectives are declined according to gender, number, and definiteness of the noun. | |||
====Indefinite adjectival declension==== | |||
When an adjective describes an indefinite singular noun it ends on "-e" if the noun is masculine or neuter; however, it will always end on "-a" in the indefinite plural forms, regardless of gender. | |||

====Definite adjectival declensions==== | |||
When an adjective describes a definite noun, it is declined more specifically. Adjectives defining definite masculine nouns end on "-e" for singular but "-er" for plural nouns; those defining definite feminine nouns end on "-a" for singular but "-ar" for plural nouns; finally, adjectives defining definite neuter nouns end on "-(i)t" for singular and "-a" for plural nouns. | |||
