+=== Solution for Exercise 2 ===
+- A
-== How to Use Adjectives in Odia ==
+- B
-In Odia, adjectives usually follow the noun they modify. For example, in the sentence "ହଳଦିଆ ଶିରା" (haladia shira), the adjective "haladia" (yellow) follows the noun "shira" (milk) that it modifies.
+- C
-Sometimes, the adjective may come before the noun for added emphasis, for example, "ବଡ଼ ମେଢ଼" (bada medha) to mean "big fat." In such cases, the adjective comes before the noun, and a descriptive participle is formed.
+=== Solution for Exercise 3 ===
-When two or more adjectives are used to describe a noun, they must follow a specific order in Odia. The order is:
+. ମୋର ନୂତନ ବାଗିଚା ଅଛି (I have a new garden).
-. Size and shape – ଛୋଟ, ବଡ ପୁଷ୍ପ (chhota, bada pushpa – small, big flower)
+. ସେ ଏକ କଳା ବୁକ୍ ଧରିଛି (She is wearing a black dress).
-. Age – ଛୋଟ ଦେହ, ବଡ ଦେହ (chhota deha, bada deha – young body, old body)
-. Color – ଲାଲ ଗୋଲଗିଳେ ଫଳ (laala golagile phala – red round fruit)
-. Origin – ଡାକ୍ତାର ବା ସାଇନ୍‌-ଇନ ସ୍ଟୋର ସେବା (daktara ba sign-in store seba – doctor or sign-in store service)
-. Material – ଲାଲ ବେଲୁଣ କାପଡ (laala beluna kapada – red woollen cloth)
-. Purpose – ଶୁଖା ପାନୀ (shukha paani – dry water)
-For example, you can say "ଏହା ବଡ ଲାଲ ଫୁଲ" (eha bada laala phula) to mean "This is a big red flower." Here, the adjective "bada" (big) comes before the adjective "laala" (red) to follow the proper adjective order.
+. ଏହି ପାଣି ଶୀତଳ ଅଟେ (This water is cool).
-== Conclusion ==
