Degrees of comparison
| Positive | Comparative | Superlative | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Suffix | NONE | -s/-es | -š/-eš |
| Example 1 | Vata (white) | Vatas (whiter) | Vataš (whitest) |
| Example 2 | Gránd (big) | Grándes (bigger) | Grándeš (biggest) |
The '-s' and '-š' suffixes are added if the adjective ends in a consonant. If the adjective ends in a vowel, '-es' or '-eš' is added.
So for example, 'My brother is bigger than you' is 'Min nangagrándes as dän dú'
Plural
To make a noun plural in Manskolian you simply add the '-n' (if the noun ends in a vowel) or the '-en' (if the noun ends in a consonant) suffix.
Examples:
One cow - many cows = Én qá - müngá qán
One light - many lights = Én jut - müngá juten
Definite articles
To make a noun definite in Mankolian you just add the word 'dé' (which means 'the') in front of it.
Examples:
The girl - Dé qol
The cat - Dé näqo
In Manskolian you write nouns and adjectives as one word.
For example instead of writing 'Én sval näqo' (A black cat) you write 'Én näqosval' (A catblack).
The adjectives are separated in two groups, time (old, new, short) and appearance (big, blue, ugly). An adjective that doesn't fit in any of the groups can be placed in the appearance group.
If the noun has a confusing suffix (like 'egránd') you add a 'ap' or a 'em' in front.
For example 'Dé verktonegránd' can be mistaken for a noun and then a time adjective, so we write it as 'Dé verktonapegránd'.
| Type | Combining letter | Order | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
| Time | 'm' or 'e' | Adjective-noun | Én öltemán (an old man) |
| Appearance | 'p' or 'a' | Noun-adjective | Én ajagránd (a big eye) |
The cat is blue and cool = Dé näqoblasul non qowl as.
My chicken is the smallest = Min tšüqlingapegrándeš as.
I like your black and white cows = Ét jilas din qánasval non vata.
