Goal: Brainstorm ideas for adjective development

Note: Think about ways you might derive adjectives from noun and/or verb roots.

Tip: Another option is to use nominal modifiers or predicative verbs.

Work focus: Learn/Brainstorm/Try


Today’s goal is to brainstorm ideas for ways you might create new adjectives (beyond any basic adjectives you might have in your language). Consider whether you want adjectives to primarily derive from noun or verb sources, and sketch out possible paths of derivation (e.g. an affix that means “-like” and attaches to a nominal root to create an adjective).

If you want to avoid creating adjectives (or mostly avoid them) in your language, you can spend some time thinking about how modification will work, whether you want to use nominal modifiers and/or develop series of predicative verbs in your language.
