Adjectives in Dutch (Dutch: Bijvoeglijke naamwoorden/Adjectieven) can be placed before the noun or after the noun, just like in English. When the adjective is placed after the noun (mostly using a verb like zijn (to be)), or when the adjective relates to another adjective, it is called an adverb (Dutch: Bijwoord).
The following examples are all adjectives and no adverbs!
