3.1. Characteristics

GENDER:
Adjectives does not have its own gender – they have the same gender as noun has.

NUMBER:
Adjectives also doesn't have its own number – they have the same gender as noun has.

DECLINING:
Adjectives are declined – they have the same case as noun has. However, adjectives doesn't have “sub-cases”, they only decline in “basic” and “additional” cases; instead of “sub-cases” they use “basic” cases, even if the noun is declined in “sub-case”.

When the noun is declined in “sub-case” the adjective is declined in the “basic” case which is superior to the “sub-case” in which the noun is; and the adjective is placed AFTER the noun and not before it as normally. Nevertheless, both noun and the adjective can be declined in the corresponding “basic” case; here the adjective is placed BEFORE the noun, as normally.

"CORRESPONDENCE":
Adjectives have a special characteristic named “correspondence”, which has the adjectives in accusative for both genders and all three numbers.

CAPITAL LETTER:
Adjectives deriving from noun which are written with capital letter, are also written with capital letter. Articles aren't necessary any more, unless the noun is a name (of a country, etc.).
