===Adjectives===

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~~. Other adjectives follow the noun declension when inflected together with their head~~.

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.

====''Declension''====

Line 472:

|irres

|}

When the adjective root ends in a consonant different than ''r'', genitive case is created by duplicating the last consonant: ''henu dele'' (beautiful woman), ''henur de'''ll'''e'' (beautiful woman's). Voiced consonants are reduced to voiceless unless the word might be confused with another.

====''Adverbs''====

Adverbs are formed from adjectives' SG-GEN forms by changing the last vowel ''e''→''ä'' and ''i''→''a'': ''efire'' → ''efirre'' → ''efirrä'' (happy → of happy → happily)

If the last vowel is not ''e'' or ''i'', the adverb is created by adding ''ee'' to the genitive case: ''geeda'' → ''geettaee'' (high → highly)

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

Line 486:

Line 490:

*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.

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