Adjectives & Nouns

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.

 

klB - unklB

clear - unclear

​

​impOtEnt - unimpOtEnt

important - unimportant

​

corect - uncorect

correct - incorrect

​

expensiv - unexpensiv

expensive - inexpensive

​

AbEl - unAbEl

able - disable

​

similaa - unsimilaa

similar - dissimilar

In everyday English, when using a string of adjectives, they have to appear in a set order: size/shape + age + color + origin + material.
 

  • A big brown house

  • A small old English desk

  • A beautiful black Italian leather purse

  • Delicious Chinese food

​

In Lingojam, when using a string of adjectives, they can appear in any order you wish. No-one can remember the order they're meant to be in, anyway.
 

  • A big brown house   -   big brMn hMs  /   brMn big hMs

  • A small old English desk   -   smJl old QiNliS desk  /   old QiNliS smJl desk

  • A lovely black Italian suede purse   -   luvlee QitaliEn swAd blak pUs 

  • Delicious Chinese food   -   diliSEs food QCFneez  /   QCFneez diliSEs food
