Adjectives are words that modify nouns.
They are descriptive words like big, small, red, blue, furry, or smooth. In German, adjectives do more than modify nouns,they also describe the function a noun has in the sentence. The endings of the adjectives tell whether the noun is masculine, feminine, or neuter and whether the noun is the subject, the direct or the indirect object,or a possessive noun. Strong versus Weak Like verbs, there are strong and weak endings for adjectives. Strong endings give information on the noun, like gender, case, and number.
