===Adjectives===

Adjectives of Aoma are inflected according to their head ~~nouns~~. Most adjectives can be recognised from their ''re'' or ''ri'' ending since they are formed from nouns simply by adding ''e'' to the genitive case. This is sometimes called the adjective case or adjective form of a noun.

Adjectives of Aoma are inflected according to the case and definiteness of their head noun. Most adjectives can be recognised from their ''re'' or ''ri'' ending since they are formed from nouns simply by adding ''e'' to the genitive case. This is sometimes called the adjective case or adjective form of a noun.

====''Comparison''====

Adjectives~~: Comparative~~ is formed by adding second ''e'' to the SG-GEN, and superlative by adding ''a(n)'' prefix and ''te'' suffix to the SG-GEN: ''milare'' → ''milarre'''e''''' → '''''a'''milarre'''te''''' (cold, colder, the coldest)

When positive-form adjectives are used as '''predicatives''', they can be placed after nouns, as if common attributes, if there are no other adjectives. The adjective case corresponds with the case of (pro)nouns being referred to: ''Ni dokii kelaree.'' (The object is heavy.); ''Bujussa nas efireke'' (It made me happy.)

*However, adjectives usually appear before the noun to clarify the meaning, especially with multiple adjectives: ''Ni kelaree dokii gesharii. Sö milarii.'' (The yellow object is heavy. Not the blue one.)

'''Adjectives' comparative''' is formed by adding second ''e'' to the SG-GEN, and '''superlative''' by adding ''a(n)'' prefix and ''te'' suffix to the SG-GEN: ''milare'' → ''milarre'''e''''' → '''''a'''milarre'''te''''' (cold, colder, the coldest)

*When two nouns are compared, genitive case is used with the second: ''Nu efirree shyr.'' (She is happier than him.)

*Similarity is shown with adjective in nominative, ''mini'' (SJV it were) and dative: ''Mene geshare mini binuee foreki.'' (You're as lively as your mother.)

Adverbs' comparative through vowel lengthening and superlative by changing the last vowel of corresponding adjective superlative: ''efirrä'' → ''efirrää'' → ''anefirret'''ä''''', (happily → more happily → most happily)

'''Adverbs' comparative''' is formed similarly through vowel lengthening and '''superlative''' by changing the last vowel of corresponding adjective superlative: ''efirrä'' → ''efirrää'' → ''anefirret'''ä''''', (happily → more happily → most happily)

*Adverbs are added directly after the verb they modify: ''Efas efirrä kuu ketikee.'' (They live happily in the town.)

Negative forms can be created with ''o(w)'' prefix: ''oware'' (non-divine, mundane)

Negative forms can be created with ''o(w)'' prefix: ''oware'' (non-divine, mundane from ''are'' meaning divine)
