Introduction to Wistrish adjectives

Wistrish adjectives agree with nouns in case, gender / animacy and number. They can also be separated into multiple groups depending on their declension patterns and have strong (indefinite) and weak (definite) forms.

Case system mirrors that of the nouns and often formed very similarly. Indefinite (strong) forms of adjectives are similar to those of a-subgroup strong nouns, while the definite (weak) forms are identical to those of weak nouns.

Animacy in adjetives is too mostly apparent in duals, but unlike nouns, there are distinction between animate/inanimate in some singular forms. This is only true for strong forms of the adjectives: weak forms never display the animate/inanimate distinction.

Adjectives of most of the classes have two sets of forms: strong (indefinite) and weak (definite). Similar distinction can be found in other Germanic (and rarely traces of it can be found in some slavic languages), though in Wistrish, which does not have real articles, adjectives display definiteness entirely by themselves. Some smaller classes of adjectives however only have weak forms and some adjectives are strictly strong: in these cases their conjugation does not change depending on definiteness.

Noun indefinitives are not transferred to adjectives, but any noun with an indefinitive requires strong adjectives when possible.
