Introduction
Adjectives are declined in both case and number, and they come before the nouns they modify.
Adjectives have four main cases, and two sub-cases. The main cases are the basic Nominative, Accusative, Genitive and Stative case. The stative case is further divided into two sub-cases, Stative-Nominative and Stative-Accusative.
Order
Adjectives always come before the nouns they modify. Ergo "a small.NOM kid.NOM jumped into a big.ACC pot.ACC" would become "small.NOM big.ACC kid.NOM pot.ACC jump.IND.PT.3S". Since both/all adjectives come before nouns, cases are important for distinguishing multiple adjectives relative to their nouns. E.g "the big dumb giant killed the fast scared horse" would become "big.NOM dumb.NOM fast.ACC scared.ACC giant.NOM horse.ACC kill.IND.PT.3S".
Since Huinidl omits the present tense of to be, adjective use a stative case to express a temporary "is" state, e.g "the rabbit is red" would become "red.NOM.STAT rabbit.NOM"
Declension
Nouns are declined in four cases, Nominative, accusative, genitive and stative. (The genitive and stative cases are yet to be completed xd).
| Singular | Plural |
|---|---|
| -ø | -tli |
| -pan | -tzin |
examples:
os -> ostli (wealthy)
nakmo ->nakmotli (dirty)
tleza imatl = Big man
tlezatli imatlih = Big men
os sisiihua = wealthy woman
ostli sisiihuah = wealthy women
Summary
Adjectives come before the nouns they modify, and are declined in number and case. Adjectives have four cases: nominative, accusative, genitive and stative.
