Sindhi Grammar - Adjectives

Hi Sindhi learners! 😊
In this lesson, we will learn about adjectives in Sindhi language. Adjectives play a very important role in describing a noun. They add a lot of meaning to a sentence and paint a vivid picture of what is being talked about. Sindhi adjectives are used in a similar way to English adjectives. However, they can be placed before or after the noun they describe. Let's dive into the details!

Adjectives in Sindhi

An adjective is a word that describes, identifies or modifies a noun or a pronoun. In Sindhi, an adjective agrees with the noun it describes in gender, number and case. Sindhi adjectives can be categorized into three types:

Simple Adjectives

Simple adjectives in Sindhi describe a noun in its basic form. They do not change based on the noun's gender or number. Here are some examples of simple adjectives in Sindhi:

Sindhi	Pronunciation	English
چڪر	Chakkar	Round
شت	Sat	True
ڳڻسري	Ghanasri	Thick
لمخ	Lamak	Soft

Compound Adjectives

Compound adjectives in Sindhi are formed by combining two or more words. The words can be Sindhi, English or from any other language. Here are some examples of compound adjectives in Sindhi:

Sindhi	Pronunciation	English
هلكڻ ڄائيون	Hilkun Jhaeyun	Carefree
سفيد هاڻڻ	Safed Hanun	White-collar
سرچ	Sarich	Headstrong
هڪتاڻ	Hiktan	Single-minded

Participial Adjectives

Participial adjectives in Sindhi are formed from verbs. They describe the state or condition of the noun or pronoun. Participial adjectives in Sindhi end in either -در (-dar) or -و (w). Here are some examples of participial adjectives in Sindhi:

Sindhi	Pronunciation	English
ڏيم در	Daim Dar	Continuous

Now that we have discussed the different types of adjectives in Sindhi, let's move on to how to use them in sentences.

Using Adjectives

Adjectives in Sindhi can be used before or after the noun they describe. When the adjective comes after the noun, the adjective usually agrees with the noun in gender, number and case.

Here are some examples:

Sindhi	Pronunciation	English
سچي چاري	Sachij Chari	Truthful friend
ڊاڪٽر جي وڌيڪا	Doctor Ji Wadhika	Doctor's advice
زرين رنگ ڀرڪو	Zareen Rang Bharko	Bright golden color
ڀڙن ڪيچ	Bhuran Kitch	Brown cat

When the adjective comes before the noun, it does not agree with the noun's gender or number.

Here are some examples:

Sindhi	Pronunciation	English
چنڊو گھر	Chandu Ghar	Beautiful house
ڪوڏھو ھلال	Kudho Halal	Clean street
بل ڏٺا سمندر	Bel Datta Samandar	Wide sea
سچا موڻ	Sacha Mon	True man
