Adjectives always have ''-ă'' in the plural, except

* the plural of ''-ăch'' is ''-ith'': the plural of יידאך ''Yidăch'' 'Jew(ish)' is יידיח ''Yidith'';

* the plural of ''-i'' ~~adjectives~~ is unchanged (unlike ''-i'' ~~nouns~~ which always pluralize as ''-im'', even native nouns);

* the plural of adjectives with unstressed ''-i'' is unchanged (unlike nouns with unstressed ''-i'' which always pluralize as ''-im'', even native nouns);

* the plural of ''ołiņ'' 'lovely' is ''ołă''.

~~Forms~~:

*pred: ~~תּאָ מע בּעק ''To me beg.''~~ = ~~I am short~~.
