Adjectives and Comparison

Adjectives precede nouns and are invariant.

They do not change for number, definiteness, possession, gender, or syntactic position.

redd hus — a red house
redd husar — red houses
redd husen — the red house

Predicative adjectives

The same adjective form is used after the copula.

husen ett redd
The house is red.

Multiple adjectives

Multiple adjectives may appear together. The adjective closest to the noun is understood as the most tightly associated quality. Nordsippisk does not require an English-style adjective-order hierarchy.

Degree

tuu means too / excessively.

zer means very / highly.

tuu kald — too cold
zer god — very good

Comparatives

Comparatives are formed through ordinary qualifier + root compounds rather than comparative inflection.

mer increases the degree of a quality; ferr decreases it.

• mergod — better; more-good
• merstor — bigger; more-big
• mersmal — smaller; more-small
• merhard — harder / more difficult
• ferrgod — less good
• ferrhard — less difficult

Because these are compounds, spacing may distinguish scope:

mergod mat — better food
mer god mat — more good food

Superlatives are not yet specified.
