Fijian adjectives and adverbs are essential for describing people, places, and things. In this lesson, you will learn how to use and form adjectives and adverbs in Fijian. You will also learn how to use comparative and superlative adjectives to make comparisons. Let's get started!
=== The Importance of Adjectives in Fijian ===
 
Adjectives are words that describe nouns, giving us more information about the qualities or characteristics of people, places, or things. In Fijian, just like in English, adjectives enhance our language and allow for more expressive communication. They can describe:
 
* '''Physical attributes''': Such as '''big, small, beautiful.'''
 
* '''Emotional states''': Like '''happy, sad, angry.'''


== Adjectives ==
* '''Colors''': For example, '''red, blue, green.'''
Adjectives are words that describe nouns or pronouns. In Fijian, adjectives typically come after the noun they modify. Here are some examples:
 
* '''Sizes''': Such as '''large, tiny, enormous.'''
 
Understanding how to use adjectives will not only help you describe the world around you but also deepen your connections with Fijian speakers by allowing you to express your thoughts and feelings more clearly.
 
=== Basic Adjectives in Fijian ===
 
Let's start by exploring some common adjectives used in Fijian to describe people and things. Below is a table of basic adjectives that you will frequently use.

|}
|}


Note that in Fijian, adjectives do not change form based on the gender or number of the noun they modify.
Now that we have a list of basic adjectives, let's see how to use them in sentences.
 
=== Forming Sentences with Adjectives ===
 
In Fijian, adjectives typically come after the noun they describe. Here are some examples:
 
* The '''big dog''': '''na goneyalewa levu''' (the dog big).
 
* A '''happy child''': '''na gone marau''' (the child happy).
 
* The '''beautiful house''': '''na vale totoka''' (the house beautiful).
 
Notice how the adjective follows the noun. This structure is essential in Fijian grammar.


=== Comparative and Superlative Adjectives ===
=== Comparative and Superlative Adjectives ===
Comparative adjectives are used to compare two things, while superlative adjectives are used to compare more than two things. In Fijian, comparative and superlative adjectives are formed by adding the words "vakayalo" and "vakayalo sara", respectively, before the adjective. Here are some examples:
 
Just like in English, you can compare things in Fijian using comparative and superlative forms of adjectives.
 
* '''Comparative adjectives''' are used to compare two nouns. In Fijian, you typically add '''"sivia"''' after the adjective.
 
* '''Superlative adjectives''' indicate the highest degree and are formed by adding '''"duadua"''' before the adjective.
 
Here’s how to form them:
 
* '''Comparative''':
 
* '''bigger''': '''levu sivia'''
 
* '''smaller''': '''lailai sivia'''
 
* '''Superlative''':
 
* '''the biggest''': '''na levu duadua'''
 
* '''the smallest''': '''na lailai duadua'''
 
Let's see this in action with some examples:


{| class="wikitable"
{| class="wikitable"
! Fijian !! Pronunciation !! English
! Fijian !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
| na goneyalewa levu sivia || [na ɡo.neˈja.le.wa ˈle.vu ˈsi.vi.a] || the dog is bigger
|-
|-
| sa lutu vakayalo na i moli-ni  || sa lu-tu va-ka-ya-lo na i mo-li-ni || the lemon is sour (more sour)
 
| na goneyalewa lailai sivia || [na ɡo.neˈja.le.wa ˈlaɪ.laɪ ˈsi.vi.a] || the dog is smaller
 
|-
|-
| sa waiwai vakayalo na masima  || sa wai-wai va-ka-ya-lo na ma-si-ma || the mango is sweet (sweeter)
 
| na goneyalewa levu duadua || [na ɡo.neˈja.le.wa ˈle.vu ˈdu.a.du.a] || the biggest dog
 
|-
|-
| sa dosidosi vakayalo sara na waqa || sa do-si-do-si va-ka-ya-lo sa-ra na wa-qa || the boat is very fast (fastest)
 
| na goneyalewa lailai duadua || [na ɡo.neˈja.le.wa ˈlaɪ.laɪ ˈdu.a.du.a] || the smallest dog
 
|}
|}


=== Using Adjectives in Sentences ===
=== Practice Sentences and Questions ===
To use adjectives in sentences, simply place them after the noun they modify. Here are some examples:
 
Now that we have our adjectives and forms down, let’s practice constructing sentences and questions. Here are some examples:
 
1. '''What is the color of the big house?'''
 
* '''Na cava na color ni vale levu?'''


* Na kena levu na vale. (The house is big.)
2. '''The small child is quick.'''
* Sa yalo vinaka na tamata. (The person has a good spirit.)
* Adu na i keli kalokalo. (There is a beautiful cat.)


You can also use adjectives to ask questions, which is done by placing the adjective before the noun. Here are some examples:
* '''Na gone lailai e bibi.'''


* Sa vakayalo na kakana oqo? (Is this food spicy?)
3. '''Is the food good?'''
* Na i tovo vakayalo ni sizani? (Is the dress expensive?)
* Sa mani waqa vakayalo sara oqo, sa dua na veiuto. (This car is very fast, it's one of a kind.)


== Adverbs ==
* '''E vinaka na kakana?'''
Adverbs are words that describe verbs, adjectives, and other adverbs. They often end in the suffix "-ga" or "-dina". Here are some examples:
 
4. '''The beautiful woman is happy.'''
 
* '''Na marama totoka e marau.'''
 
5. '''Which is the oldest tree?'''
 
* '''Na cava na drala duadua?'''
 
Make sure to practice these sentences aloud to get comfortable with the pronunciation!

In the vibrant and expressive Fijian language, adjectives play a crucial role in painting vivid pictures of people, places, and things. Whether you are complimenting a friend, describing the breathtaking landscape of Fiji, or talking about your favorite dish, adjectives are your allies in communication. This lesson focuses on how to effectively use adjectives in Fijian, including how to form comparative and superlative adjectives. By the end of this lesson, you will be equipped with the tools to enrich your conversations and express yourself more fully in Fijian.

In this lesson, we will cover the following topics:

  • The importance of adjectives in Fijian
  • Basic adjectives used to describe people, places, and things
  • Forming comparative and superlative adjectives
  • Practice sentences and questions using adjectives
  • Engaging exercises to reinforce your learning

The Importance of Adjectives in Fijian[edit | edit source]

Adjectives are words that describe nouns, giving us more information about the qualities or characteristics of people, places, or things. In Fijian, just like in English, adjectives enhance our language and allow for more expressive communication. They can describe:

  • Physical attributes: Such as big, small, beautiful.
  • Emotional states: Like happy, sad, angry.
  • Colors: For example, red, blue, green.
  • Sizes: Such as large, tiny, enormous.

Understanding how to use adjectives will not only help you describe the world around you but also deepen your connections with Fijian speakers by allowing you to express your thoughts and feelings more clearly.

Basic Adjectives in Fijian[edit | edit source]

Let's start by exploring some common adjectives used in Fijian to describe people and things. Below is a table of basic adjectives that you will frequently use.

Fijian Pronunciation English
lailai [laɪˈlaɪ] small
levu [ˈle.vu] big
vinaka [viˈna.ka] good
ca [θa] bad
marau [maˈrau] happy
malumu [maˈlu.mu] soft
qaqa [ˈqa.qa] hard
totoka [toˈto.ka] beautiful
bibi [ˈbi.bi] quick
dede [ˈde.de] long
draki [ˈdra.ki] hot
sivia [ˈsi.vi.a] extra
koro [ˈko.ro] old
vou [voʊ] new

saqa [ˈsa.ka] heavy
vugale [vuˈga.le] lazy
marama [maˈra.ma] woman
tagane [taˈɡa.ne] man
gone [ɡo.ne] child

Now that we have a list of basic adjectives, let's see how to use them in sentences.

Forming Sentences with Adjectives[edit | edit source]

In Fijian, adjectives typically come after the noun they describe. Here are some examples:

  • The big dog: na goneyalewa levu (the dog big).
  • A happy child: na gone marau (the child happy).
  • The beautiful house: na vale totoka (the house beautiful).

Notice how the adjective follows the noun. This structure is essential in Fijian grammar.

Comparative and Superlative Adjectives[edit | edit source]

Just like in English, you can compare things in Fijian using comparative and superlative forms of adjectives.

  • Comparative adjectives are used to compare two nouns. In Fijian, you typically add "sivia" after the adjective.
  • Superlative adjectives indicate the highest degree and are formed by adding "duadua" before the adjective.

Here’s how to form them:

  • Comparative:
  • bigger: levu sivia
  • smaller: lailai sivia
  • Superlative:
  • the biggest: na levu duadua
  • the smallest: na lailai duadua

Let's see this in action with some examples:

Fijian Pronunciation English
na goneyalewa levu sivia [na ɡo.neˈja.le.wa ˈle.vu ˈsi.vi.a] the dog is bigger
na goneyalewa lailai sivia [na ɡo.neˈja.le.wa ˈlaɪ.laɪ ˈsi.vi.a] the dog is smaller
na goneyalewa levu duadua [na ɡo.neˈja.le.wa ˈle.vu ˈdu.a.du.a] the biggest dog
na goneyalewa lailai duadua [na ɡo.neˈja.le.wa ˈlaɪ.laɪ ˈdu.a.du.a] the smallest dog

Practice Sentences and Questions[edit | edit source]

  • Na gone lailai e bibi.

3. Is the food good?

  • E vinaka na kakana?

4. The beautiful woman is happy.
