===Adjectives=== | |||
Elynig 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. | |||
Usually adjectives' singular form is identical for masculine and feminine, even if there can be exceptions, the plural forms are two, instead: one for masculine, ending in ''-oe'', and one for feminine, ending in ''-ae''. | |||
