Definizione e Significato di "adjective"

What is an "adjective"?

An adjective is a word that describes or modifies a noun, providing more information about it. Adjectives help to specify qualities, characteristics, or features of the noun they accompany. For example, in the phrase "a tall building," "tall" is the adjective that describes the height of the building. Adjectives can indicate various attributes, such as size, color, shape, or feelings, like "blue," "round," or "happy." In English, adjectives usually come before the noun, but they can also appear after verbs like "is" or "seem," as in "The sky is blue." In other languages, adjectives may change form to agree with the noun in gender, number, or case, which can vary widely compared to English.
