In the previous blog post 4 Language Table Part 02 I spoke about the noun and now we study a bit the adjectives and the first person, indicative present of the be verb. Verbs of being are called linking verbs because they link the subject and the predicative together, for example I (subject) am sensitive (predicative). The adjectives might have own attributes like very, briefly, much and so on. Attributes are most likely adverbs which don't agree with the gender, number or case of the subject.

In English and Interlingua adjectives don't take part in the agreement, in other words, adjectives are not in the same number, gender and case as the noun they refer. None of these languages have these 3 qualitities. In Italian adjectives are in the same number and gender but there are no cases. In Finnish adjectives are in the same number and case as nouns but there are no genders.  

Anyway, now you don't have to think about much the agreement because I hope that you use the linking verb to be in the 1st person, indicative present, for example "I am shy", "Io es timide", "(Io) sono timido (if you're a male); (Io) sono timida (if a female)" and "(Minä) olen ujo." For further knowledge pick up the words from the table and build up own sentences. If you are not sure about your sentence put it in the quatation marks and copy the whole sentence with the quatation marks and paste it in the Google's Search Field. If your sentence is correct you will get many articles where this sentence is showed to you in bold.

 

 

 

4 Language Table Part 02

You find the first part of this table at:
http://yellingrosa.com/wordpress/?p=2818 

English	English pronunciation	Interlingua	Italiano	Suomi
Thou (thou = you, sg)	[ðau]	Tu	Tu	Sinä
He	[hi, strong hi:]	Ille	Lui	Hän
She	[ʃi, strong ʃi:]	Illa	Lei	Hän
It	[it]	Illo	Esso, m; Essa, f	Se
Boy, n	[bɔi]	Puero	Il ragazzo, m	Poika
Girl, n	[gə:l]	Puera	La ragazza, f	Tyttö
The, sg	[ðə, strong ði:]	Le	Il/lo (l’), sm; la, (l’), sf	There are no articles in Finnish
Beautiful, adj	[bju:tif(ə)l]	Belle	Bello, m; bella, f	Kaunis
Tall, adj	[tɔ:l]	Alte	Alto, m; alta, f	Pitkä
A, an, sg	[ə, strong ei/ən, strong æn]	Un	Un/uno, sm; una, sf	No articles in Finnish
Is, sv	[iz]	Es	É	On

Now you can say in four languages: He is a boy. She is a girl. He is the tall boy. She is the beautiful girl.

You are not able to see in the table that “ragazzo” demands the “un” indefinite article form. Usually descriptive adjectives follow the noun in Italian and they agree with the gender and number of the noun to which they refer.  The following abbreviations are used here: n = noun, adj = adjective, sg = singular, m = masculine, f = feminine, sm = singular masculine, sf = singular feminine and sv = singular verb.

For example: a beautiful house = “una casa bella” because the Italian word “casa” (house) is feminine the adjective must also be feminine. This example goes in Interlingua “un casa belle” and in Finnish “kaunis talo”.

Kuolema

Ei kuolema

tule ja koputa

sydämesi ovea.

Se on omatuntosi,

joka väärin perustein

on tuomittu murhaajaksi.

Sillä totuus on se,

että tuhoamalla

se tappaisi

itsensä.

Death

Does not come and

Knock on the door of your heart.

It has always lived within you 

But one day you have to continue

Without it.

It is your inner voice,

Which is in vain misjudged

And accused of being the end of life.

The truth, however,

Is that if it put an end to life

It would kill himself.
