Adjectives agree
Level A1 · Unit 1: Hello! · Lesson 4: He, she or it?
An adjective takes the same gender as its noun. The basic (masculine) form usually ends in a consonant; add -a for feminine and -o for neuter:
lep hotel · lepa hiša · lepo mesto
The adjective can also come after the verb: Hotel je star. "The hotel is old."
| masculine | feminine | neuter | meaning |
|---|---|---|---|
| lep | lepa | lepo | beautiful |
| nov | nova | novo | new |
| velik | velika | veliko | big |
| dober | dobra | dobro | good |
| majhen | majhna | majhno | small |
