places in Arabic<\/a>, so when describing a place to a friend back home, wouldn\u2019t it be useful if you could know a few adjectives, as well? First, however, let\u2019s look at the role adjectives play in the structure of Arabic grammar.<\/p>\nArabic adjectives are words that describe or modify a person or thing in a sentence. Their placement is quite different from English where the adjectives come before the noun, as in \u201cbeautiful girl\u201d. In Arabic their placement is reversed:\u00a0fataah jameela<\/em>\u00a0= girl beautiful. Now, just like in English, the adjectives will follow their nouns in multiple aspects, like gender and number. Also, one more particular thing to remember about nouns and adjectives in Arabic is that they can be both defined and undefined using the definite article prefix \u201cal-\u201c. If you\u2019re talking about a random beautiful girl, you use the structure shown above. However, if you want to talk about a specific girl who is known to both parties of the discussion, and you want to say she is a beautiful girl, then you use the structure\u00a0al-fataah al-jameela<\/em>.<\/p>\nIf you\u2019re feeling courageous and want to use more than one adjective to describe something, just add\u00a0wah<\/em>\u00a0(the equivalent of \u201cand\u201d in English) between them, but it\u2019s not always necessary. Your Arab buddy will understand you, regardless. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
