Adjectives

Adjectives agree with the nouns they modify in number (singular vs. plural), and in the singular also case (nominative vs. non-nominative). Adjectives can be compared in six degrees of comparison: positive, comparative, superlative, contrastive, sublative and negative. Adjective declension depends on whether the adjective begins and ends with a consonant or vowel.
