ABSTRACT
Russian adjectives decline in a similar fashion to nouns, albeit with distinct sets of endings. Attributive adjectives agree with the nouns they qualify in number, gender and case; predicative adjectives agree with the nouns they qualify in number and gender, but are used only in the nominative or instrumental cases. Some adjectives have an additional form, known as the short form, which is used only in the predicative function and only in the nominative case; these are described separately in 6.5.
