== Definition and Role of Descriptive Adjectives ==
 
Descriptive adjectives are words that describe a noun's qualities, characteristics, or attributes. They provide more information about a noun, allowing us to form a clearer image in our minds.
 
For instance, in Assamese, we can say:
 
* '''বড় গছ''' (bɔɹɔ gɔch) - "big tree"
 
* '''সুন্দৰ মাকলী''' (sundɔɹ mɑkɔli) - "beautiful girl"
 
In these examples, "বড়" (big) and "সুন্দৰ" (beautiful) are the descriptive adjectives that enhance the nouns they describe.
 
=== Types of Descriptive Adjectives ===
 
Descriptive adjectives can be categorized based on their qualities. Here are some common types:
 
1. '''Size''':
 
* বড় (bɔɹɔ) - big
 
* সৰু (sɔɹu) - small
 
2. '''Color''':
 
* ৰঙীন (ɹɔŋi:n) - colorful
 
* নীলা (nīlɑ) - blue
 
3. '''Quality''':
 
* সুন্দৰ (sundɔɹ) - beautiful
 
* দুখঃদায়ক (dukhɔdāɪk) - sad
 
4. '''Shape''':
 
* গোল (gɔl) - round
 
* চৌকোনা (tʃɔʊkɔnɑ) - square
 
5. '''Texture''':
 
* মচ (mɔtʃ) - soft
 
* কঠিন (kɔtʰin) - hard
 
== Agreement Rules in Assamese ==
 
In Assamese, descriptive adjectives must agree with the nouns they modify in gender and number.
 
1. '''Gender Agreement''':
 
* Assamese nouns are either masculine or feminine. The adjective must match the noun's gender.
 
* For example:
 
* '''সুন্দৰ ল'ৰা''' (sundɔɹ lɔɹɑ) - "handsome boy" (masculine)
 
* '''সুন্দৰ মাকলী''' (sundɔɹ mɑkɔli) - "beautiful girl" (feminine)
 
2. '''Number Agreement''':
 
* Adjectives also change based on whether the noun is singular or plural.
 
* For example:
 
* '''বড় গছ''' (bɔɹɔ gɔch) - "big tree" (singular)
 
* '''বড় গছসমূহ''' (bɔɹɔ gɔchɔmuh) - "big trees" (plural)
 
=== Placement of Descriptive Adjectives in Sentences ===
 
In Assamese, descriptive adjectives typically come '''before''' the nouns they modify. For example:
 
* '''সুন্দৰ ফুল''' (sundɔɹ phul) - "beautiful flower"
 
* '''নতুন গাড়ী''' (notun gɑɹi) - "new car"
 
However, there are cases where adjectives can follow the noun for emphasis or stylistic reasons, though this is less common.
 
== Examples of Descriptive Adjectives ==
 
Let's look at some examples to solidify our understanding. Below, we have a table showcasing various Assamese descriptive adjectives along with their pronunciation and English translations.

Welcome to the "Complete 0 to A1 Assamese Course"! In this lesson, we will cover descriptive adjectives in Assamese. Adjectives are essential components of any language, and they help us describe and modify nouns. They provide more information about the quality and attributes of an object, person, or place.
| লাল (red) || lɑl || red


Understanding how to use adjectives properly in Assamese is essential for communicating clearly and effectively. In this lesson, we will learn about descriptive adjectives and their proper placement in a sentence. We will also discuss agreement rules and explore examples to help you get a better understanding of the topic.
|-


<h2>What are Descriptive Adjectives?</h2>
| নীল (blue) || nīl || blue


Descriptive adjectives are words that describe or modify a noun. They provide additional information about the quality, size, color, shape, age, and other attributes of a noun. In Assamese, adjectives come after the noun, as opposed to English, where they come before the noun. Here’s an example to understand better:
|-


<li>"এটা সুন্দৰ ফুল।" (Eta sundor ful.)</li>
| মিঠা (sweet) || mītʰɑ || sweet


This sentence means "This is a beautiful flower." Here, the word "সুন্দৰ" (sundor) is the adjective that describes the noun ফুল (ful).
|-


<h2>Placement of Descriptive Adjectives in Assamese</h2>
| কঠিন (hard) || kɔtʰin || hard


In Assamese, descriptive adjectives come after the noun they describe. Let's look at some examples to understand the placement of adjectives better.
|-


<li>"হাত টিনালী লম্বা লগে।" (Hat tinali lomba lage.)</li>
| মচ (soft) || mɔtʃ || soft
<li>"মোৰ ঘৰ নিলুবাটা পূৰ্ব দিকৰ ওপৰত আছে।" (Mor ghor nilubata purab dikor oporot asse.)</li>


In the first sentence, the adjective "লম্বা" (lomba) comes after the noun টিনালী (tinali). In the second sentence, the adjective "পূৰ্ব দিকৰ" (purab dikor) comes after the noun নিলুবাটা (nilubata).
|-


<h2>Agreement Rules for Descriptive Adjectives in Assamese</h2>
| সৰল (simple) || sɔɹɔl || simple


In Assamese, adjectives agree with the noun in gender, number, and case. Let's explore these rules through examples:
|-


<h3>Gender Agreement</h3>
| সজীৱ (alive) || sɔdʒi:b || alive


In Assamese, nouns are classified into two genders: masculine and feminine. Adjectives change their form to agree with the gender of the noun they modify. Let's see some examples:
|-


<table class="wikitable">
| নৱীন (new) || nɔbi:n || new
<tr>
<th>Assamese</th>
<th>Pronunciation</th>
<th>English</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>সুন্দৰ ছেলে</td>
<td>sundor chheli</td>
<td>handsome boy</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>সুন্দৰ মেইকুপ</td>
<td>sundor mekup</td>
<td>beautiful makeup</td>
</tr>
</table>


In the first example, the adjective সুন্দৰ (sundor) agrees with the masculine gender noun ছেলে (chheli). In the second example, the same adjective will agree with the feminine gender noun মেইকুপ (mekup).
|-


<h3>Number Agreement</h3>
| জোনাকী (glowing) || dʒonaki || glowing


In Assamese, adjectives agree with the number of the noun they modify. For example:
|-


<table class="wikitable">
| বেয়া (bad) || beja || bad
<tr>
<th>Assamese</th>
<th>Pronunciation</th>
<th>English</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>সুন্দৰ ফুল</td>
<td>sundor ful</td>
<td>beautiful flower(singular form)</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>সুন্দৰ ফুলসকল</td>
<td>sundor fulshokol</td>
<td>beautiful flower(plural form)</td>
</tr>
</table>


In the first example, the adjective সুন্দৰ (sundor) agrees with the singular form of the noun ফুল (ful). In the second example, the same adjective agrees with the plural form of the noun ফুলসকল (fulshokol).
|-


<h3>Case Agreement</h3>
| গাঢ় (deep) || ɡɑɹʱ || deep


In Assamese, adjectives agree with the case of the noun they modify. There are two cases in Assamese: the direct case and the oblique case. Let's see some examples:
|-


<table class="wikitable">
| উজ্জ্বল (bright) || uʤʤbɔl || bright
<tr>
<th>Assamese</th>
<th>Pronunciation</th>
<th>English</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>এটা বইটো নতুন।</td>
<td>eta boito notun</td>
<td>This book is new(direct case)</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>মোৰ হাতত নতুন বইটা আছে।</td>
<td>mor hatot notun boita asse</td>
<td>I have a new book in my hand(oblique case)</td>
</tr>
</table>


In the first example, the adjective নতুন (notun) agrees with the direct case of the noun বইটো (boito). In the second example, the same adjective agrees with the oblique case of the noun বইটা (boita).
|-


<h2>Examples of Using Descriptive Adjectives in Assamese</h2>
| খাৰাপ (bad) || khɑɹɑp || bad


Let's look at some examples of using descriptive adjectives in Assamese:
|-


<li>"আমাৰ বাঘটা বড় আৰু কৰকট আছে।" (Amar bagh-ta bor aru karkat ase.)</li>
| বিস্তৃত (wide) || bɪstɹit || wide
This sentence means "Our tiger is big and fierce." Here, বড় (bor) and কৰকট (karkat) are adjectives describing the noun বাঘ (bagh).


<li>"সতিয়া গাঁওতে একটা সুন্দৰ পুকুৰ আছে।" (Satiya gaote ekta sundor pukur asse.)</li>
|-
This sentence means "There is a beautiful pond in Satiya village." Here, সুন্দৰ (sundor) is an adjective describing the noun পুকুৰ (pukur).


<li>"মই মুখপ্ৰাপ্ত সৈতে দিন অতি সুন্দৰ হৈছে।" (Moi mukhprapt saite din ati sundar hoise.)</li>
| সুৰৰ (musical) || suɹɔɹ || musical
This sentence means "The day I received the gift was the most beautiful day." Here, অতি সুন্দৰ (ati sundar) is an adjective describing the noun দিন (din).


<h2>Practice</h2>
|-


Now that we have discussed the usage of descriptive adjectives in Assamese let's practice. Rewrite the following sentences and add a descriptive adjective after the noun:
| শীতল (cool) || ʃitɔl || cool


<li>"মই পচৰ পানী প্ৰিয় অসমেৰ।" (Moi pochar pani priyo axomor.)</li>
|-
This sentence means "I love Assam's river water."


<li>"হৈচিক আনন্দ আপোনাৰ জীৱনত পূৰ্ণ হয়।" (Haisik anond apunar jibonot puron hoi.)</li>
| সমৃদ্ধ (rich) || sɔmɹɪdʰ || rich
This sentence means "Your life becomes complete with eternal happiness."


<h2>Conclusion</h2>
|}


In conclusion, adjectives are essential in any language as they provide additional information about a noun. In Assamese, we use descriptive adjectives to describe the quality, size, color, shape, age, and other attributes of a noun. Remember that in Assamese, adjectives come after the noun, and they must agree with the gender, number, and case of the noun they modify. Regular practice using adjectives in different contexts will help you become a confident speaker of Assamese.

Descriptive adjectives play a crucial role in Assamese conversation. They can transform a simple sentence into a vivid picture. For example, instead of saying "the flower," we can say "the beautiful flower" or "the fragrant flower." This not only makes our sentences more engaging but also helps the listener understand exactly what we mean.

Moreover, descriptive adjectives in Assamese need to agree with the nouns they modify in terms of gender and number. This is an essential aspect that we will also cover in detail.

In these examples, "বড়" (big) and "সুন্দৰ" (beautiful) are the descriptive adjectives that enhance the nouns they describe.
