Lesson 3: Nouns and adjectives: grammar and vocabulary
GRAMMATIQUE
The plural in Pacarian is always +s. (for substantives and adjectives)
An adjective is placed behind the substantive. It is similar to the substantive it defines. The degrees of comparison are like in Latin, but always regular:
GRANDE = Adjective
GRANDIORE = Comparative (adjective minus vowel plus -IORE)
GRANDISSIME = Superlative (adjective minus vowel plus -ISSIME)
An adjective can be used as a substantive, or eliptical. It can be used as adverb too.
