Adjektyvai

Adjektyvai is a term used in the Lithuanian language to refer to adjectives. Adjectives in Lithuanian, like in many other languages, are words that describe or modify nouns and pronouns, providing additional information about their qualities, states, or relations. They typically answer questions such as "which one?", "what kind?", "how many?", or "whose?".

Lithuanian adjectives can be divided into several categories based on their function and form. These include qualitative adjectives, which describe qualities (e.g., "geltonas" - yellow), relational adjectives, which describe relations (e.g., "pirmas" - first), and possessive adjectives, which indicate possession (e.g., "mano" - my). Additionally, adjectives can be further classified based on their degree of comparison: positive, comparative, and superlative.

In Lithuanian, adjectives agree with the nouns they modify in gender, number, and case. This agreement is reflected in the adjective's form, which changes accordingly. For example, the adjective "geltonas" (yellow) changes to "geltona" (yellow) when referring to a feminine noun in the nominative case.

Adjektyvai play a crucial role in Lithuanian grammar and are essential for expressing precise and nuanced meanings in sentences. Their proper use is fundamental to effective communication in the Lithuanian language.
