Nepali (individual language) Grammar - Adjectives

Hi Nepali (individual language) learners! 😊
In today's lesson, we will be discussing adjectives in Nepali (individual language). Adjectives are words that describe or modify other words, usually nouns. They can also be used to describe the degree of something, such as how big, small, hot, cold, etc.

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 include: big, small, hot, cold, etc.

Possessive Adjectives

Possessive adjectives are used to show ownership or possession. Examples include: my, your, his, her, its, our, their.

Adjective Placement

In Nepali (individual language), adjectives usually come before the noun they are describing. For example:

• छोटो घर (small house)
• गर्मी दिन (hot day)

However, there are some exceptions to this rule. For example, when using the possessive adjectives, they come after the noun they are describing. For example:

• घरको छोटो (small house)
• दिनको गर्मी (hot day)

Adjective Agreement

In Nepali (individual language), adjectives must agree with the noun they are describing in terms of gender and number. For example:

• छोटो लागि (for a small boy)
• छोटी लागि (for a small girl)

Adjective Degrees

Adjectives can also be used to describe the degree of something. In Nepali (individual language), there are three degrees of comparison: positive, comparative, and superlative.

Positive Degree

The positive degree is used to describe a quality without comparing it to anything else. For example:

• छोटो (small)

Comparative Degree

The comparative degree is used to compare two things. For example:

• छोटो त्यो (smaller than that)

Superlative Degree

The superlative degree is used to compare more than two things. For example:

• सबैभन्दा छोटो (the smallest of all)

Conclusion

In this lesson, we have discussed adjectives in Nepali (individual language). We have looked at the different types of adjectives, their placement, and their agreement with nouns. We have also discussed the three degrees of comparison.
