Most adjectives are of the 1st declension; the 2nd declension ones mostly come from Latin ''-e'' adjectives or Middle High German ''-ik'' / Danish ''-ig'' ones (e.g. ''jegentsli'' "true, real"). There are, however, a few oddities, like ''tjervon'' (red), of Polish origin, being a 2nd declension adjective. | Most adjectives are of the 1st declension; the 2nd declension ones mostly come from Latin ''-e'' adjectives or Middle High German ''-ik'' / Danish ''-ig'' ones (e.g. ''jegentsli'' "true, real").
