Adjective
 Adjective Classes: A Cross-Linguistic Typology The studies in this volume suggest that every language has an adjective class, but these vary in character and in size. In its grammatical properties, an adjective class may be similar to nouns, or to verbs, or to both, or to neither. Some languages have two kinds of adjectives, one grammatically like nouns and the other like verbs. Whereas in some languages the adjective class is large and can be freely added to, in others it is small and closed with just a dozen or so members.
 Off the Wall Mad Libs by Roger Price, "Mad Libs" "R" is a game for people who don't like games. It can be played by one, two, three, four, or forty. Ridiculously Simple Directions in this tablet you will find stories containing blank spaces where words are left out. One player, the Reader, selects one of these stories. The Reader does not tell anyone what the story is about. Instead he/she asks the other players, the Writers, to give him/her words. These words are used to fill in the blank spaces in the story. To Play The Reader asks each Writer in turn to call out a word. This word will be an adjective or a noun or whatever the space calls for. He/She then writes the words in the blank spaces in the story. After all the spaces are filled in, the result is a Mad Lib. The Reader then reads the completed Mad Lib to the other players. They will hear that they have written a story that is fantastic, screamingly funny, shocking, silly, crazy, or lust plain dumb -- depending upon which words each Writer called out. In case you've forgotten what adjectives, adverbs, nouns, and verbs are, here is a quick review: An Adjective describes something or somebody. Lumpy, soft, ugly, messy, and short are adjectives. An Adverb tells how something is done. It modifies a verb and usually ends in "ly." Modestly, stupidly, greedily, and carefully are adverbs. A Noun is the name of a person, place, or thing. Sidewalk, umbrella, bridle, bathtub, and nose are nouns.
Adjective - An adjective is a part of speech which modifies a noun, usually describing it or making its meaning more specific. However, adjectives are not a universally recognized word class; in other words, some languages do not have any adjectives. Possessive adjective - A possessive adjective is a part of speech that modifies nouns by attributing ownership to someone or something. Use of the word American - American, when used as an adjective, can mean "of the United States of America" or "of or relating to the Americas"; when used as a noun, "United States citizen", "residing in the Americas", or less frequently "US English". This development in meaning and usage is somewhat analogous to the use in the Dutch language of the words for "African", Afrikaan (noun) and Afrikaans (adjective and noun). Scotch - In older times Scotch was an adjective meaning 'of Scotland'. Nowadays the preferred adjective is Scottish or Scots, and Scotch usually pertains to a recipe such as Scotch whisky.
adjective
The feminine ending and neuter ending follow the masculine nominative singular. Noun (Samostalnik) Cases (Skloni) A noun can serve in terms of syntax as the above example clearly demonstrates. Usedla sva se na klopco in se pogovarjali. Koga ali esa? Komu ali emu? Lepo nam je bilo. Recommended for both beginners and those with basic knowledge of Spanish, most students are desperate to expand their vocabularies to make their conversations flow more easily. Wherever necessary, the nominative singular is accompanied by instances of other case endings in the English table of I will see (Jaz bom videl), including gender for he (= on) and she (= ona) without it (= ono) can be transformed from: Singular Dual (Semi) Plural I will see You (both) will see into: Singular +M/F gender Dual +M/F gender Jaz bom videl/Jaz bom videla Midva bova videla/Midve bova videli Mi bomo videli/Me bomo videle Ti bo videl/Ti bo videla Vidva bosta videla/Vidve bosta videli Oni bodo videli/One bodo videle Not only does the language have singular and plural, however used only for two subjects and objects. It was a nice autumn day. Koga ali kaj?
