Adjectives and Nouns Qadjectiviz and QnMniz
Adjectives in English do not change whether accompanying plural or singular nouns
So adjectives in Lingojam, reflect their sound as spoken in everyday English.
Singular adjectives
huge horizon = hyooj hErFzEn
flat spoon = flat spoon
one finger = wun fiNE
Plural adjectives
huge horizons = hyooj hErFzEniz
flat spoons = flat spooniz
four fingers = fO fiNEiz
Adjectives generally appear immediately before the noun.
-
A pretty girl = pritee gUl
-
Red flowers = red flMEiz (flME-iz)
-
A long stick = loI stik (E loI stik)
-
Heavy boxes = hevee boxiz
-
Warm weather = wOm wedE
Adjectives of opposite meaning are formed - in everyday English- by adding a prefix such as un, in, or dis.
In Lingojam, it's easier and consistent.
