Aldéril Adjectives

In Aldéril, attribution is handled by placing the adjective after the noun.

A noun with multiple attributive adjectives stacks the adjectives one after another in the following order:

origin purpose material shape color age opinion size quantity

Both attributive and predicate adjective agree with their noun or pronoun in animacy. For human agreement, the bare adjective is used. For non-human animate agreement, typically the suffix -(n)é is used, which may trigger a stem change. For inanimate agreement, the suffix -au is used, which may trigger a stem change.

When there is more than one noun or noun phrase modified by the same adjective, the adjective agrees with the highest animacy noun or noun phrase.

When a sentence is used to describe a particular noun with a predicate adjective, Aldéril indicates this by placing the adjective after the copula antá, which does not conjugate. The predicate adjective must still agree in animacy with the noun it modifies.

Adjectives without Nouns

Adjectives may be used without a noun to modify. This can only occur when the implied noun modified by the adjective is definite. They must be accompanied by a demonstrative and must still agree with the animacy of the implied noun.
