Compound Adjectives in Swahili Grammar

In Swahili, Compound Adjectives act in conjunction of two or more words to modify or qualify a noun. Although Swahili doesn’t possess a rich inventory of adjectives, it derived adjectives from verbs and used compound adjectives by linking two terms that together describe a quality or characteristics that a single term could not fully express. These adjectives can significantly enrich a sentence by adding descriptive detail.
