Arabic adjectives

Adjectives are generally used to describe nouns. Unlike English, adjectives in Arabic are placed after the noun. Adjectives in Arabic agree with the noun they describe. This means that adjectives that describe a feminine noun have a special form. If the noun is definite '(i.e. 'a big house' versus 'the big house')', the adjective carries the definite article as well.

Examples

al hisān al abyad
the white horse
al hisān as saŗīr
the small horse
al hisān al áswad
the black horse
al hisān al ásmar
the brown horse
