New page

Adjectives in '''Laefêvëši''' are divided into three groups, each one expressing a different idea. They also decline for several cases and have different forms according to the number of the noun they modify. The gradation of adjectives has several forms and two types.

==Types of adjectives ==
Three groups:
#'''Qualitative adjectives''' express quality
#'''Relational adjectives''' express relation
#'''Possessive adjectives''' express possession.

==Declensions ==
There are two types of declensions, long and short declension.

===Long declension===

{| class="bluetable lightbluebg collapsible collapsed" style="text-align: center;"
! Adjectival long declension
|-
! rowspan="3"| !! colspan="6" | Number
|-
! colspan="2" | Singular !! colspan="2" | Dual !! colspan="2" | Plural
|-

|-

|}

===Short declension ===

{| class="bluetable lightbluebg collapsible collapsed" style="text-align: center;"

! Loc.
| -kko || -kkoi || -kke || -kkei || -kka || -kkai
|-
! Inst.
| -sso || -ssoi || -sse || -ssei || -ssa || -ssai
|}

== Gradation of adjectives ==

=== Degrees of comparison ===
It's formed by adding suffixes to the adjective. Only qualitative adjectives are gradable.

{| class="bluetable lightbluebg collapsible collapsed" style="text-align: center;"
! Degrees of comparison
|-
! colspan="6" | '''Positive''' (more/most) !! colspan="6" | '''Negative''' (less/least)
|-
! rowspan="2" | Degree !! colspan="4" | Suffix !! rowspan="2" | ''Example'' !! rowspan="2" | Degree !! colspan="4" | Suffix !! rowspan="2" | ''Example''
|-
! Singular !! Dual !! Plural !! Open !! Singular !! Dual !! Plural !! Open
|-
! Base
| ''-isi'' || ''-ise'' || ''-isa'' || ''-is(s)-'' || ''wárisi (big)''
! Base
| ''-isi'' || ''-ise'' || ''-isa'' || ''-is(s)-'' || ''wárisi (big)''
|-
! Comparative
| -iski || -iske || -iska || -isk- || ''wáriski (bigger)''
! Comparative
| -ikni || -ikne || -ikna || -ikn- || ''wárikni (less big)''
|-
! Superlative
| -hki || -ihke || ihka || -ihk- || ''wárihki (biggest)''
! Superlative
| -ihvi || -ihve || -ihva || -ihv- || ''wárihvi (least big)''
|-
|}

The open forms are used with subcases and additional cases; the declensional pattern used is that of the [[Celestial_Laefêvëši_nouns#Declensions|Class I nouns]].

=== Other degrees ===
There are other types of adjectival gradation. They are either formed the same way as the degrees of comparison (suffixes) or by prefixes.

{| class="bluetable lightbluebg collapsible collapsed" style="text-align: center;"
! Adjectival gradation
|-
! rowspan="2" | Degree/<br>Meaning !! colspan="4" | Adfix !! rowspan="2" | ''Example''
|-
! Singular !! Dual !! Plural !! Open
|-
! Base
| ''-isi'' || ''-ise'' || ''-isa'' || ''-is(s)-'' || ''wárisi (big)''
|-
! that/so
| -ikki || -ikke || -ikka || -ikk- || ''wárikki (that/so big)''
|-
! quite/pretty
| -ihhi || -ihhe || -ihha || -ihh- || ''wárihhi (quite/pretty big)''
|-
! very
| -iggi || -igge || -igga || -igg- || ''wáriggi (very big)''
|-
! rowspan="2" | too
| -itli || -itle || -itle || -itl- || ''wáritli (too big)''
|-
| lie- || lie- || lie- || / || ''liewárisi (too big)''
