Adjectives. Adjectives follow the nouns they qualify and take the suffixes instead of the noun.
Ōtūng Tree săpo-lo. tall-on.
When a noun is used as an adjective it precedes the noun it qualifies.
Ora kyon. Jungle-man. [[211]]
To form the comparative an adjective takes the suffix “wo” or sometimes for euphony “mo.”
Yanasao Yanasao Asao (than) Asao sapowo. (is) taller.
In interrogative sentences the adjective plus the comparative suffix wo is repeated first with the interrogative suffix alo, and then with the interrogative suffix ela.
Yanasao Yanasao sapow’alo taller Asao Asao sapow’ela? taller? (i.e. Which is taller, Yanasao or Asao?)
The superlative is formed by adding the suffix “wo” to the adjective as in the comparative, and putting some word meaning “all” before the noun representing the things among which comparison is being made.
Lănga All ’tung trees shi this sapowo. taller (i.e. This is the tallest tree).
