Overview

Multiple Adjectives Rule
When there are multiple adjectives describing one noun, ALL adjectives come after the noun in Judean.

READING GOAL:
To understand how Judean handles phrases with multiple descriptive words.

The Rule

English: Adjective + Adjective + Noun
Judean: Noun + Adjective + Adjective

When using "the," it appears on the noun AND on each adjective.

Examples

EXAMPLE 1
big red house
ื‘ื™ืช ยท ื’ื“ื•ืœ ยท ืื“ื•ื
ื‘ื™ืช = house ยท ื’ื“ื•ืœ = big ยท ืื“ื•ื = red
EXAMPLE 2
the big red house
ื”ื‘ื™ืช ยท ื”ื’ื“ื•ืœ ยท ื”ืื“ื•ื
ื”ื‘ื™ืช = the house ยท ื”ื’ื“ื•ืœ = the big ยท ื”ืื“ื•ื = the red
EXAMPLE 3
good strong king
ืžืœืš ยท ื˜ื•ื‘ ยท ื—ื–ืง
ืžืœืš = king ยท ื˜ื•ื‘ = good ยท ื—ื–ืง = strong
EXAMPLE 4
the good strong king
ื”ืžืœืš ยท ื”ื˜ื•ื‘ ยท ื”ื—ื–ืง
ื”ืžืœืš = the king ยท ื”ื˜ื•ื‘ = the good ยท ื”ื—ื–ืง = the strong
EXAMPLE 5
small white dog
ื›ืœื‘ ยท ืงื˜ืŸ ยท ืœื‘ืŸ
ื›ืœื‘ = dog ยท ืงื˜ืŸ = small ยท ืœื‘ืŸ = white
EXAMPLE 6
the small white dog
ื”ื›ืœื‘ ยท ื”ืงื˜ืŸ ยท ื”ืœื‘ืŸ
ื”ื›ืœื‘ = the dog ยท ื”ืงื˜ืŸ = the small ยท ื”ืœื‘ืŸ = the white

Key Points

  • ALL adjectives come AFTER the noun
  • Order stays the same: noun first, then all adjectives in sequence
  • When using "the," ื” appears on EVERY word (noun and all adjectives)
  • No matter how many adjectives - noun always comes first
