Tips about Norsk Grammatikk - Adjektive

This post if for beginners.
First read about Substantive here

Adjektive\विशेषण


Adjectives are words used to describe subject.

for e.g.
A beautiful women => word 'Beautiful' is adjective
A angry dog => word 'Angry' is adjective.

In English, Adjectives mostly do not change most of the time, but in Norsk they take different forms depending on its Entall or Flertall

Entall Flertall
UB BT UB BT
Hankjønn(en)  nc --e --e --e
Hunkjønn(ei)  nc
Intetkjønn(et)  --t

nc = No change in the adjektive.


To take an example, we can see the 'Car' example, 'A RED car'- en rød bil. 


Entall Flertall
UB BT UB BT
Hankjønn(en) rød røde røde røde
Hunkjønn(ei) rød
Intetkjønn(et) rødt


or say 'A FINE car'- en fin bil.

Entall Flertall
UB BT UB BT
Hankjønn(en) fin fine fine fine
Hunkjønn(ei) fin
Intetkjønn(et) fint

Exceptions:
There are few exceptions.
All adjectives ending with -ig/-lig/-sk would not take "-t" in intetkjønn.
Word 'liten' is very special


Entall Flertall
UB BT UB BT
Hankjønn(en) Liten Lille små små
Hunkjønn(ei) Lita
Intetkjønn(et) Lite
