THE ADJECTIVE.

The Adjective, as in the other Slavonic languages, can take both a definite and an indefinite form, but the definite form is now practically confined to the sing. nom. masc. (as in Bulgarian); the other cases are identical. The definite form has the article, -y appended, and those adjectives which are primarily without it, and have a predicate form, as zdráv, well, can be made definite with this addition, as zdravý; in this form it can go either before or after the noun. There are two classes of adjectives.

First Class, ending in -y:—

silný, strong. Singular. Masc. Fern.

Neut. siln-é siln-ého
