Attributive and predicative adjectives form a central part of Macedonian grammar. They are used to describe or modify nouns, with attributive adjectives coming before the noun they modify and predicative adjectives coming after a linking verb and relating back to the noun. Although their function is similar, their position in a sentence differs. Understanding and using these adjectives effectively is essential for mastering the Macedonian language.
