[edit] [top]Numbers

It's about time you learned to count in Julan. Below you can see the first fifteen Julan numbers, then every ten up to 100. The higher numbers will crop up in later lessons.

In a sentence, numbers will always occur after a noun (so 'dogs three' or 'cacti ninety').

[edit] [top]Adjectives

Adjectives in Julan have the form [first half]-[second half]. Some examples are shown below.
Alü-tallčü (royal) Anda-voda (sick) Anii-láda (best)
Adjectives can be put around the subject and have their parts swapped, as shown.
Anda-voda ==> Voda ___-anda ==> Ṁalinsitā anda páu-voda. (I am sick)
They can be used in the same way for when you would, in English, say the adjective before the noun.
Astii to elle vodu večnü-anda (The sick kings)
There are two ways of saying 'the' in Julan.
Elle ná vetáu - singular 'the' Astii to elle - plural 'the'

So the king would be 'elle ná vetáu ačnü'
and the kings would be 'astii to elle večnü'.

Translate:
The three sick kings  
The king is royal
