Descriptive Adjectives
Descriptive adjectives can be placed before or after any given noun. If a descriptive adjective follows the noun it describes, it gains a suffix. This suffix is flexible, but consists usually of one syllable, and chosen to harmonize with the adjective.

cié anára - blue eyes anára ciéra - blue eyes

To make an adjective comparative, add the suffix -rén. This replaces the suffix, if present. For superlative, the suffix is -réna. Note that the stress moves to the last stressed syllable.

anára cieréna - bluest eyes

Numbers and Possession
Number and possession are also considered adjectives. These can also be added before or after a noun. Unlike descriptive adjectives, they remain unchanged.
