Gujarati Grammar - Adjectives

Hi Gujarati learners! 😊
In today's lesson, we will be discussing adjectives in Gujarati. Adjectives are words that describe or modify other words, usually nouns. They can be used to give more information about the nouns they modify. In this lesson, we will look at how adjectives are used in Gujarati and how they can be used to make your sentences more interesting and descriptive.

Types of Adjectives

Adjectives can be divided into two main categories: descriptive adjectives and possessive adjectives.

Descriptive Adjectives

Descriptive adjectives are used to describe the qualities of a noun. Examples of descriptive adjectives in Gujarati include:

• सुंदर (sundar) - beautiful
• गंभीर (gamabhir) - serious
• आकर्षक (aakarshak) - attractive
• विश्वासयोग्य (vishwasayogya) - trustworthy

These adjectives can be used to give more information about the nouns they modify. For example, if you wanted to describe a person, you could say "वह एक सुंदर व्यक्ति है (vah ek sundar vyakti hai)", which means "He is a beautiful person".

Possessive Adjectives

Possessive adjectives are used to show possession or ownership. Examples of possessive adjectives in Gujarati include:

• मेरा (mera) - my
• तुम्हारा (tumhara) - your
• उसका (uska) - his/her
• हमारा (hamara) - our

These adjectives can be used to show who owns something. For example, if you wanted to say "This is my book", you could say "यह मेरी किताब है (yeh meri kitab hai)".

Adjective Placement

In Gujarati, adjectives usually come after the noun they modify. For example, if you wanted to say "The beautiful girl", you would say "सुंदर लड़की (sundar ladki)".

However, there are some exceptions to this rule. For example, if you wanted to say "A very beautiful girl", you would say "एक बहुत सुंदर लड़की (ek bahut sundar ladki)". Here, the adjective "बहुत (bahut)" comes before the noun "सुंदर (sundar)".

Conclusion

In this lesson, we have looked at how adjectives are used in Gujarati. We have seen that adjectives can be divided into two main categories: descriptive adjectives and possessive adjectives. We have also seen that adjectives usually come after the noun they modify, although there are some exceptions to this rule.

We hope that this lesson has helped you to understand how adjectives are used in Gujarati. With practice, you will be able to use adjectives to make your sentences more interesting and descriptive.
