Guarani/Adjectives

Adjectives always come after the noun. Otherwise they are called determiners. However, a personal determiner can make the adjective become a qualifying verb.
 * oga porã - the beautiful house
 * jagua kane'o - tired dog


 * ChePorã. - I am beautiful.
 * CheKane'o - I am tired.

When an adjective follows a conjugated verb, it becomes an adverb.


 * Pe karai omba'apo Porã. - This sir works well.

Also, if there is no determiner before the adjective, it is a noun.

Adjectives may also become nouns when suffixed with Kue (oral) or ngue (nasal).
 * Kane'o ñande mboJavy. - The tiredness made us commit a mistake.
 * Puku - thick
 * Pukukue thickness
 * Morotĩ - white
 * Morotĩngue whiteness
