Q

Adjectives have the -a ending
examples you will see: parvusa (small)
magnusa (big)

anything ending in -a is an adjective

A

many nouns can be turned into adjectives if you switch their -é ending with the -a ending

example you’ll see: tetshé (teht-shay) - text
libuché (lee-boo-chay) - book
to make the word “Textbook,” make tetshé an adjective and combine the words to make:
tetshalibuché

Adjectives describe nouns. Here, the word “text” can become an adjective because it’s describing the word “book.”

63
Q

Parvusa and Magnusa are adjectives because…?

A

They end in -a

64
Q

Adverbs have the ending of -z

A

example adverb you’ll see:
nuz (nooz) - again
paumevuz (pow-meh-vooz) - please

65
Q

Nuz (again) is an adverb because … ?

A

It has a -z ending.

66
Q

“Paumevuz” (please) is which type of word?

A

Adverb

67
Q

Some words fall into more than one category. They can be both adverbs and nouns, or verbs and adjectives, or all four and some!

Thus, you may see these words with either an -o ending, -u ending, -f ending, -z ending, and more.

A

However, as long as you can differentiate between adverbs, adjectives, and the past, present, and future forms of nouns, that’s be the most important thing!

For the non-categorized words, just focus on knowing what they mean, and you’ll be just fine!
