Explanation

Adjectives usually join a noun and show its feature. The adjective stands before the noun: yashil barg, katta uy. When the noun is plural the adjective does not change: yashil barglar (not “yashillar barglar”). In an adjective + noun phrase the adjective answers Qanday? and the noun answers Nima? or Kim?

Worked examples
yashil barg (green leaf), yashil barglar (green leaves); katta uy (big house), katta uylar (big houses).
Qanday bola? – chaqqon bola (a nimble boy). Qanday gul? – chiroyli gul (a pretty flower).
Class activity
