# Adjectives and comparison
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Adjectival verbs
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Some verbs play the function adjectives do in other languages. Such verbs
|
||||||
|
are called *adjectival verbs*.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In the predicative form, it is used in the same way as other verb.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
> man-nom.mt.sg is_old-ind.prs.cnt
|
||||||
|
> *The man is old.*
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In the descriptive form, it is attached before the noun without any
|
||||||
|
conjugation.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
> is_old-man-nom.mt.sg catch-ind.pst.cnt fish-acc.wa.sg
|
||||||
|
> The old man caught the fish
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
