Attributive adjective - Attributief gebruikt adjectief
When adjectives immediately precede the noun they qualify, we talk of attributive adjectives. Examples of attributive adjectives are:
|
Er is een knallende ruzie losgebarsten tussen de twaalf landen van de eurozone.
|
An explosive row has erupted between the twelve countries in the eurozone.
|
|
De nieuwslezer droeg gisterenavond een mooi blauw jasje.
|
The newsreader wore a beautiful blue jacket last night.
|
|
Heeft u ook zo'n last van een verstopte neus?
|
Are you also suffering from a blocked nose?
|
Note that these adjectives precede the noun they qualify: knallende precedes ruzie, mooi and blauw precede jasje, and verstopte (a past participle in origin) precedes neus.
Note also that some of these adjectives do not occur in their citation form: mooi and blauw-e, but knallende and verstopte do. They >decline.
