| Orientation |
| You will
be happy to know that this module will not require you to memorize
any endings. The endings you have already learned for first
and second declension nouns will be used with the adjectives we
will be studying. However, you must make certain that you are
thoroughly famililiar with the nominal suffixes learned up to this
point.
Besides learning a number of
adjectives in the vocabulary for this module, you will have to
learn a few grammatical rules regarding how they are used. |

Audio introduction to
Chapter 6 vocabulary (§46 in Black, Learn, 43). A
note on two-termination adjectives:
Black (Learn, §43) notes that two-termination adjectives
frequently include compound adjectives. Observe that a very
common type of compound adjective is one that is prefixed with the
so-called alpha-privative. This is the prefix av-
(as in avka,qartoj),
used as a negative compounding element, much like the a in
English words such as atheism or atypical (or like the
English prefixes in- or un-). Adjectives with an
alpha-privative prefix will nearly always be of the two-termination
type. |

is one of the few chapters in Black that I really cannot improve
upon or supplement.
However, I am providing a flowchart
that may help you learn the use of adjectives:
