Adjectives precede the nouns they modify.
The verb sen links the subject to adjective phrases or noun phrases.
With adjective phrases:
Kitabu sen neo.
The book is new.
Filme sen lungo.
The film is long.
Uma sen day ji bala.
The horse is big and strong.
With noun phrases:
Te sen mahi.
It's a fish.
Te sen bon patre.
He's a good father.
The demonstratives hin and den must always be followed by a noun or pronoun. They never stand alone in noun phrases.
Den piu sen day.
That bird is big.
The pronoun te, which is attached to the demonstratives hin and den, may replace an animate noun: hinte/dente.
Dente sen day.
That (one) is big.
Since Globasa doesn't have articles (a, the), the words hin and den may be used to express definiteness when necessary.
Den piu sen day.
That bird is big. or The bird is big.
The adjectives fem (female) and man (male) may be used as quasi-prefixes to distinguish gender. Normally gender is not indicated, but if you need to distinguish gender here are some examples:
femnini - girl
mannini - boy
fembete - daughter
manbete - son
femuma - mare (female horse)
manuma - stallion (male horse)
femdoste - female friend
mandoste - male friend
