Adjectives directly precede the noun they qualify and are identified by the suffix -i. Adjectives, like the nouns they modify, do not inflect., nor is there any need for them to "agree" with the noun.
- megi haus = big house
- kizi uagon = red car
Comparative and Superlative
Comparitive adjectives are formed by the augmentative suffix -is, or the diminutive suffix -im then followed by the usual adjectival suffix -i. Superlatives use the suffix -it.
- megisi haus
- big+er house
- very big house / bigger house
- megiti haus
- big+est house
- biggest house
Common Adjectives
- ci = this; these
- ti = that; those
- ui = some; some kind of
- hi = what kind of
- mi = past; previous; former

- [demonstrative] [quantity|quality] [dimensions|weight] [appearance|color] [participles]
