Adjectives in Queith
In general, adjectives in Queith are used like they are English. These words are used to describe nouns and usually appear in front of the noun that they describe. Unlike English, however; there are several different types of declensions for adjectives. Depending on what type of noun the adjective is describing, a specific type of declension is used. For example, the same adjective that is used to describe an animal, can appear differently if it is being used to describe a human.
Adjective forms
There are nine forms of adjectives.
Basic Form is the most basic form of adjectives that can be used to describe almost any adjective.
Animal Form is the form used to describe nouns of a living animal. This includes mammals, reptiles, insects, and so on. However, this form is not used to describe the body part of an animal or a dead animal.
Animal Body Part Form is the form to describe nouns of a living animal's body part. This includes eyes, bones, wings, brains, and so on. This form is not used to describe the whole animal, the body part of an animal that is dead, or an animal product such as milk or eggs.
Human Form is the form to describe nouns of sentient beings. This includes humans, elves, fictional characters that are animals that act like humans (like Mickey Mouse or Bugs Bunny) that are still alive, or when speaking about a deceased person in general.
Human Body Part Form is the form to describe nouns of the physical body parts of sentient beings. This includes eyes, hair, lungs, skin, and so on. This form is not used to describe nonphysical parts of sentient beings such as the soul, spirit, or mind. This form is also used to describe the corpse of someone deceased. The human form is still used to describe someone deceased when speaking about them in memory.
Plant Form is the form to describe nouns of plants and plant matter, or organisms that are plantlike. This includes flowers, trees, leaves, stems, and seeds.
Tangible Form is the form used to describe nouns of physical material objects or things. This includes rocks, water, planets, computers, books, and so on. Anything that physically exists and isn't an animal, plant, or human is described using this form, including other forms of life like bacteria.
Intangible Form is the form used to describe nouns of nonmaterial things or ideas. This includes language, concepts, the human mind, colors, activities and so on. Anything that doesn't have a physical form.
Spiritual Form is the form used to describe nouns of spiritual things that typically don't have a physcial form. This includes a person's soul, angels, demons, ghosts, God, and so on. Anything that doesn't have a physical form and is spiritual in nature.
More on Declensions
Each adjective form follows the same basic model. There are dfferent forms of each declension depending on the style or mood of the speaker. Not all declensions are used in all adjective classes.
Basic Form is the most basic form of the declension that fits no specific mood.
Abstract Form may be used in very specific situations, such as describing something that has a physical form in the real world, but may being used in a situation where the speaker is talking about it appearing in a dream or some other situation that didn't occur in real life.
Assumptive may be used in situations where the speaker is making the assumption that the object has this quality.
Believed may be used when the speaker believes that this is a quality of a specific object.
Emphatic is used when the speaker wants emphasis on the noun being described and that the listener or reader should keep this quality in mind and that it is very important.
Poetic is used in a poetic or artistic mood.
Polite is used in a polite mood.
Profanitive makes the adjective into an insult or curse word.
Reputative is used when the object is generally thought to have this quality by the general public.
Affirmative is used to emphasize positive notions.
Prohibitive is used to emphasize negative notions.
Furthermore, each of these forms have declensions in comparative forms.
