Latonic/Adjectives

Different kinds of adjectives
Adjectives conjugate similarly to nouns, therefore good knowledge of the nouns ir reccomended. Having read on the nouns at least once is a minimal requirement to understand adjectives. Adjectives are divided first into anteméssa (placed before the noun) and posteméssa (placed after the noun). Anteméssa are generaly conugated like the article, while posteméssa follow the noun itself.

Behind the noun
Just like nouns, adjectives are divided into two conjugations. Adjectives of the first conjugation always ends on -o in their male form. Replacing this -o with -a and -u give you their respective female and neuter forms. Most adjectives are placed behind the noun, a few few before them, and some nouns have a different meaning depending on their place. For example, bello, when placed behind the noun means beautiful, handsome, pretty, while bel before a noun is more generale: nice, good, pretty, ... When placed behind the noun (or with no noun at all), the adjective copies the exits from the nouns of the first conjugation:

Before the noun
Adjectives behind a noun will be found in the dictionary as for example bello, -a, u. Adjectives before the will be found as for example bel, bella* (he asterisk is to remind you to put it before the noun). From this you can derive the root bell- and the short form bel. The short form will be used in the nominative and accusative with male or neuter nouns. All other forms will gets the root with the exit of the article.

Behind the noun
Nouns of the second conjugation are slightly harder because their gender is hard to define. In the dative and genitive singular, and in all the plural forms, they follow the noun or the article depending on it's position. In the accusative and nominative singular, they take a differnent form. In most cases, male and neuter adjectives have root + -e here, while female ones have root + -i. However: As an example, we'll take grande, -di, -de, which means big when place behind a noun. Before a noun it becomes gran, grandi which means great as in "very good".
 * Some adjectives have -er, -(e)ri, -(e)re: aguer, agri, agre
 * Some adjectives (mainly active participles have -ns, -nti, -nte: carmínans, carmínanti, carmínante

Before the noun
Adjectives before a noun work just the way they do when they follow the first conjugation, except for the accusative and nominative singular. Also keep in mind that the exit -o is always replaced with -e!

Demonstrative Pronouns
Demonstrative pronouns are words like this and that have the same function as the defintite article but are stronger and more specific. English has two "places": here and there (and archaic yonder) Latonic has three: cuí (here), lí (within eye range) and ví (far away). Therefore, it also has three demonstrative pronouns: In modern spoken language, illu and istu may be used less specifically, having the same function but istu being stronger, while illu always refers to something earlier mentioned. The demonstrative pronouns are placed before the noun and conjugated like the adjectives before a noun. They may also be used on their own, in which case they are conjugated like the adjective behind a noun. An overview of genders:
 * Istu is usually associated with quí.
 * Illu is usually associated with lí.
 * Víe is usually associated with ví.
 * Sol. isto, ista, istu, Adj. iste, ista (1st/1st Cg.)
