Adjective Morphology

The declension of adjectives is based upon that of nouns.  Adjectives, however, can only be first/second declension or third declension adjectives.  First/second declension adjectives decline their feminine forms from the first declension noun endings and their masculine and neuter forms from the second declension noun endings.  Third declension adjective endings are based upon those of the third declension noun endings.  There are no fourth or fifth declension adjectives.

Select one of the following declensions to view the complete paradigm by declension:
