ABSTRACT
Adjectives are words which denote properties or qualities. Typically, they serve to modify or describe nouns and can also appear in comparative forms (see Unit 12). Since the dividing line between adjectives and verbs is not always clear, the Chinese equivalents of adjectives are often termed stative verbs. While learners need not worry about whether there ‘are’ adjectives in Cantonese, it is useful to remember that the words in question generally behave like verbs: that is what applies to verbs generally applies to adjectives too.
