muovimainenadjektiivin

Muovimainen adjektiivi, or "flexible adjective," is a term used in linguistics to describe adjectives that can change their form to agree with the noun they modify. This phenomenon is common in many languages, including Finnish, Estonian, and Hungarian, where adjectives often take different forms based on the noun's case, number, and gender. For example, in Finnish, the adjective "pieni" (small) changes form to "pienet" when referring to multiple small objects. This flexibility allows adjectives to maintain grammatical agreement with the nouns they describe, enhancing the clarity and correctness of the sentence structure. The use of muovimainen adjektiivi is a key feature of these languages' morphosyntactic systems, contributing to their rich and complex grammar.
