Hello again,
Could anyone in this group kindly explain to me the rules for
adjective endings in Afrikaans ? Reading through your messages, it
would appear to me that predicative adjectives have zero endings
whereas attributive adjectives add -e to the stem. However, I have
seen a couple of attributive adjectives (i.e. adjectives placed before
the noun they modify) without the -e ending. Is that phenomenon
reminiscent of the Dutch gender system or a result of non-gender
related phonetic rules ?
Thank you for your assistance. I apologize if my questions on
Afrikaans grammar are not pertinent to this group.
Best regards,
Marcelo G. S. Bruno
