== Adjective Placement ==
== Types of Adjectives ==
 
There are two main types of adjectives in Interlingua (International Auxiliary Language Association):
 
=== Qualitative Adjectives ===
Qualitative adjectives express the quality, characteristic or nature of the noun, and usually come before the noun.
 
==== Examples ====
 
{| class="wikitable"
! Interlingua (International Auxiliary Language Association) !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
| bon || /ˈbɔn/ || good
|-
| bel || /bɛl/ || beautiful
|-
| grand || /ɡrand/ || big, great
|-
| clar || /klar/ || clear
|}
 
==== Dialogue ====
 
* Anna: Ista casa es __bon__. (This house is good.)
* Pedro: Si, me place multo. Lo es tamben __clar__ e __bel__. (Yes, I like it a lot. It is also clear and beautiful.)
 
=== Quantitative Adjectives ===
 
Quantitative adjectives are used to indicate the quantity, size or position of the noun, and usually come after the noun.
 
==== Examples ====
 
{| class="wikitable"
! Interlingua (International Auxiliary Language Association) !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
| multe || /ˈmulte/ || many, much
|-
| pauco || /ˈpawkɔ/ || few, little
|-
| prime || /ˈprɪme/ || first
|-
| ultime || /ˈultime/ || last
|}
 
==== Dialogue ====
 
* Juan: Io ha __multe__ amicos in Italia. (I have many friends in Italy.)
* Carla: Io ha __pauco__ tempore iste tarde. (I have little time this afternoon.)
 
== Comparative and Superlative Adjectives ==
 
Adjectives in Interlingua (International Auxiliary Language Association) can be compared using the following forms:
 
=== Comparative Adjectives ===
 
The comparative form of adjectives is used to compare two things. To form the comparative form in Interlingua, add the suffix "-er" to the end of the adjective.


Adjectives in Interlingua usually come before the noun they are modifying. For example:
==== Examples ====


* Un homine grande - A big man
{| class="wikitable"
* Un libro interessante - An interesting book
! Interlingua (International Auxiliary Language Association) !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
| long || /lɔŋ/ || long
|-
| felice || /feˈlit͡ʃe/ || happy
|-
| bon || /bɔn/ || good
|-
| mal || /mal/ || bad
|}


However, there are some exceptions to this rule. For example, when using two adjectives to describe a noun, the adjectives can be placed in either order. For example:
==== Dialogue ====


* Un homine grande e alte - A big and tall man
* Maria: Io pote caminar __plus long__ que tu. (I can walk longer than you.)
* Un libro interessante e divertente - An interesting and fun book
* Luis: Io sa. Tu es __plus felice__ que io. (I know. You are happier than me.)


=== Adjective Agreement ===
=== Superlative Adjectives ===


Adjectives in Interlingua must agree with the noun they are modifying in gender and number. For example:
The superlative form of adjectives is used to compare three or more things. To form the superlative form in Interlingua, add the suffix "-issime" to the end of the adjective.


* Un homine grande - A big man
==== Examples ====
* Una femina grande - A big woman
* Duo homines grande - Two big men
* Duo feminas grande - Two big women


== Comparative and Superlative Forms ==
{| class="wikitable"
! Interlingua (International Auxiliary Language Association) !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
| long || /lɔŋ/ || long
|-
| felice || /feˈlit͡ʃe/ || happy
|-
| bon || /bɔn/ || good
|-
| mal || /mal/ || bad
|}


Adjectives in Interlingua can also be used in their comparative and superlative forms. To form the comparative form of an adjective, you add the suffix -ior to the end of the adjective. For example:
==== Dialogue ====


* Grande - Big
* Andrea: Carmen es __le plus longe__ del gruppo. (Carmen is the longest in the group.)
* Major - Bigger
* Javier: Io es __le plus felice__ proque io ha un bon amico in vos. (I am the happiest because I have a good friend in you.)


To form the superlative form of an adjective, you add the suffix -issime to the end of the adjective. For example:
== Irregular Forms ==


* Grande - Big
Some adjectives in Interlingua (International Auxiliary Language Association) have irregular comparative and superlative forms.
* Major - Bigger
* Majorissime - Biggest


== Adjective Endings ==
==== Examples ====


Adjectives in Interlingua can also have different endings depending on the gender and number of the noun they are modifying. For example:
{| class="wikitable"
! Interlingua (International Auxiliary Language Association) !! Comparative !! Superlative
|-
| bon || melior || optim
|-
| mal || pejor || pessim
|-
| grande || plus grande || maxim
|-
| parve || minus grande || minim
|}


* Un homine grande - A big man
== Conclusion ==
* Una femina grande - A big woman
* Duo homines grandes - Two big men
* Duo feminas grandes - Two big women
