27. Adjectives II – Common adjectives for the description of people or things (Adjectius II – Adjectius comuns per descriure persones o coses) There will be no separate section in Catalan tutorials that discusses the feminine forms of nouns that describe humans and animals, as the majority of them follow the same rules for the formation of femininity as adjectives with corresponding endings. In addition, the most notable exceptions are covered in various other sections of the tutorials (e.B. in the section on the names of professions). In Catalan, most adverbs are derived from adjectives. In most cases, this is done by adding the suffix -ment (like « -ly » in English) to the singular feminine form of the adjective. For example, the singular feminine form of Lent (« slow ») is Lenta, so the corresponding adverb is Lentament (« slow »). For example, if the object you want to describe is plural and masculine, the adjective you use must also be plural and masculine. d.) Like nouns with the same ending, adjectives ending in an accented vowel add an -n- before adding regular endings. In addition, they get rid of all accents. However, an accented i (i.e.

« í ») preceded by another vowel becomes an i with a dieresis (i.e. « ï ») In general, adjectives in Spanish follow this pattern. Note: There are adjectives (inteligente, trabajador, etc.) that do not follow this pattern: adjectives ending in « -o » and « -òleg » are very few, with « wicked » sacríleg – sacrílega is an exception. Also few are the adjectives that are e-> adjective, which usually occur when the adjective ends with two consonants plus an « e » (e.B. Correct « correctly », « wrong » pobre, etc.). An exception to the ea group > the EU is the jueu  » Jew  » jueu – jueva – jueus – jueves. Other exceptions to the c-> g rule are: flac « lean », opac « opaque », dry « dry », quec « stammering » and rebec « stubborn ». Others include nationality adjectives that will be discussed in a later tutorial. Overall, the -ic/-ica group is quite large, with the only exceptions being « Arabic » aràbic and « faded » mústical. However, when these adjectives are found before the noun they modify, they take the forms good(-a) and bad(-a) to mean « good » and « bad » respectively. As you can see in the example above, the adjective comes after the noun and also takes the feminine form.

The adjective bo good takes the masculine singular good when used before the noun, cf. : As in English, however, the adjective stem is sometimes modified to include the suffix: how are masculine and feminine adjectives formed? Learn! Adjectives whose singular masculine ending is -às or -ís double their last -s before applying the correct endings to the other forms. In addition, other adjectives ending in -s also follow this pattern of doubling the end-s in other forms. The most common example would be « fatty » grass. More complicated topics such as the placenta of adjectives (which is usually after the noun but has important exceptions) and multiple adjectives that modify the same noun are covered in the following tutorials. Beware of the consonant -z! If a singular adjective ends in -z, eliminate it and add -ces instead. In Spanish, adjectives in gender and number must correspond to what they describe. Some feminine adjectives are irregularly formed and do not conform to the above educational rules. feminine singular noun adjective singular feminine. And as in English, many common adverbs are not at all derived from adjectives: like many other Romance languages, Catalan adjectives have an absolute superlative form, expressed with the suffix -íssim, between the stem and the suffix genus/number.

Catalan adjectives can be divided into three groups, depending on the different forms they have. Those of you who have your tongue detective hats corrected may also have noticed that many of these adjectives end with an O or an A (pssst! just like the nouns we saw last week!) As adjectives, Qualsevol is immutable in terms of gender, but changes according to the number, while the upper limit always remains immutable, regardless of its use or what changes it. To describe male and female nouns at the same time, use a masculine adjective. Catalan nouns are folded for gender (male or female) and number (singular or plural). There is no case folding. Articles and adjectives correspond in gender and number with the noun to which they refer. If an adjective in the singular ends with a vowel, simply add -s to make it plural. Place adjectives before nouns to highlight the qualities of an object.

Some adjectives that can be used before nouns are as follows. A Catalan adjective must correspond in gender and number with the noun that accompanies it. Most adjectives are placed after nouns. Adjectives can be divided into three declension paradigms. The rules for diffraction of numbers are the same as for nouns. Form plural adjectives in the same way that you form plural nouns in Spanish. Place Spanish adjectives after the object they describe to distinguish it from other objects. As in other Romance languages, Catalan does not require an article before the professions in the statement: (noun) + being + name of the profession, unless the profession is modified by an adjective. The adjectives grande (large), bueno (good), malo (bad), primero (first) and tercero (third) change when placed before singular nouns. To watch! The comparative degree is formed analitically. Note that the adjective correspondence coincides with the principal noun: as with all Western Romance languages, the formation of the plural involves the addition of the suffix -s to the singular.

However, the strain may experience some changes. The numerical diffraction of adjectives follows the same rules. [9] Some adjectives can only be placed after nouns. These are the ones that express color, shape and origin. Some adjectives can be used to describe both male and female nouns. There are quite a few. Now you know how to form masculine and feminine adjectives. Although most adjectives ending in -or are « adjectives of 2 endings » (-or/-ora), those that end in -erior, such as upper « superior » and anterior « previous », and those that end in a form of -color, are also immutable (e.B. . . .
