Read the first 6 Noun and Adjective Agreement flashcards as text

  1. In Kelvor, adjectives agree with nouns in CASE: nominative case adjectives take '-as', accusative take '-us'. 'Talu' (woman) is the subject. 'Bren' = beautiful. What is 'the beautiful woman' as subject?

    Answer: Talu brenas

    Subject = nominative → '-as'. 'Bren' + '-as' = 'brenas'. Phrase: 'Talu brenas.'

  2. Bruntic uses a system where proper nouns (names) do not trigger adjective agreement, but common nouns do. Adjective agreement suffix is '-el'. Common noun 'nalu' (horse) + 'vel' (fast). Proper noun 'Kenu' (a name) + 'vel' (fast). Which is correct?

    Answer: Nalu velel; Kenu vel

    Common noun triggers agreement ('-el'): 'nalu velel'. Proper noun does not: 'Kenu vel'.

  3. In Molvex, adjectives agree with nouns in definiteness: definite noun + adjective suffix '-the', indefinite noun + adjective suffix '-a'. 'Brak' = the stone (definite). 'Vel' = hard. What is 'the hard stone'?

    Answer: Brak velthe

    Definite noun → adjective suffix '-the': 'vel' + '-the' = 'velthe'. 'Brak velthe.'

  4. In Strelvik, cardinal numbers (one, two, three) behave like adjectives and must agree with nouns. Noun suffix for agreement: M singular '-el', M plural '-elon'. 'Doru' (M) = man. 'Ven' = two. How do you say 'two men' with agreement?

    Answer: Doru-elon venelon

    Plural M: noun 'doru' + '-elon' = 'doru-elon'; numeral 'ven' + '-elon' = 'venelon'. Both agree.

  5. Invented Helovari: adjective agreement depends on whether the noun is countable or mass. Countable nouns trigger suffix '-en' on adjectives; mass nouns trigger '-un'. 'Prenu' (fire, mass noun) + 'vel' (bright). 'Nalu' (horse, countable) + 'vel' (bright). Which pair is correct?

    Answer: Prenu velun; Nalu velen

    Mass noun (prenu) → '-un'; Countable (nalu) → '-en'. Results: 'prenu velun', 'nalu velen'.

  6. In Ozwik, adjectives agree with the head noun in 'proximity class': near objects (proximal) → '-this', far objects (distal) → '-that'. 'Brak vel-this' = 'this hard stone' (near). You need to say 'that hard stone' (far). What changes?

    Answer: Brak vel-that

    Distal (far) → '-that' suffix on adjective: 'vel-that'. Noun position unchanged: 'Brak vel-that.'
