Usage notes

[edit]

Unlike normal adjectives (izenondo), which always come after the noun they modify and are fully declinable; adnominals are usually placed before the noun and are undeclinable. Most adnominals are derived from nouns, taking suffixes such as -ko, -en or -tar. See Category:Basque indeclinable adjectives for examples.
