Interlingua (International Auxiliary Language Association) Grammar - Adjectives

Hi Interlingua (International Auxiliary Language Association) learners! 😊
In today's lesson, we will be discussing adjectives in Interlingua. Adjectives are words that describe or modify nouns and pronouns. They can be used to give more information about the noun or pronoun they are modifying. In this lesson, we will look at how to use adjectives correctly in Interlingua.

Adjective Placement

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

• Un homine grande - A big man
• Un libro interessante - An interesting book

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:

• Un homine grande e alte - A big and tall man
• Un libro interessante e divertente - An interesting and fun book

Adjective Agreement

Adjectives in Interlingua must agree with the noun they are modifying in gender and number. For example:

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

Comparative and Superlative Forms

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:

• Grande - Big
• Major - Bigger

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

• Grande - Big
• Major - Bigger
• Majorissime - Biggest

Adjective Endings

Adjectives in Interlingua can also have different endings depending on the gender and number of the noun they are modifying. For example:

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