HideEndings of Slovak adjectives
As mentioned, we also have 3 genders. It is easy to find out what gender it is, based on the endings of the adjectives in their nominative singular form:
- masculine gender ends with -ý
- feminine gender ends with -á
- neutral gender ends with -é
Be careful, as there is a rhythmic rule, where there cannot be two long syllables next to each other. That is why it can happen, that you will see -y, -a and -e instead. Example: krátky, múdra, známe...
The grammatical number of adjectives changes together with the nouns of which they are connected with. For example:
- moderný dom (where dom is in masculine gender)
- moderná kuchyňa (where kuchyňa is in feminine gender)
- moderné zariadenie (where zariadenie is in neutral gender)
